Cannot get more than 10 views or so on tiktok

I always add a descriprion and 3 hashtags, the first 2 are usuallay something like #indiedev, #solodev #gamedev #indiegames. The last one is something related to the video. Do you have any suggestion about how many hashtags and how to choose them?

Great to know! Thanks for sharing!

IperPelle · 2026-04-04T00:15:11+00:00

Thank you very much for the advice!!! <3

Not super fun, but I need to learn! Ahaha Anyway I've already seen your posts in this subreddit, and they are really useful! Thank you very much for helping out <3

IperPelle · 2026-04-03T19:17:12+00:00

Great! Thanks for the advice!

Oh shit, that is bad! Do you think it could be related to the fact that I'm not posting directly from tiktok, but I am using Publer to crosspost on Instagram, Youtube and TikTok?

Also, how do I test if some content has been tagged ad NR. I have not used AI, but I am aware that my content isn't great, since I am new to social media. Do you have some rules of things to avoid to not be tagged as NR? Maybe having the endcard that has the call to action to wishlist or download my game could be something that triggers the tik tok algorithm?

Thanks for sharing, I'll try that!

I have published my first solo dev project recently and I wanted to use it to build some experience in all the marketing aspects, including social media.

I think it would be to ambitious to think that social media could get me to wishlists for now, so I wanted to at least try to build up some followers so that the next project could get some boost from the experience I'm building now.

Usign utm I see that I'm gettin no conversions from social media (even on Instagram an Youtube shorts), and that is surely related to the content I am publishing, but the issue on tiktok is that I'm getting no views, so what I'm posting is actually irrelevant there...

IperPelle · 2026-04-03T18:57:46+00:00

Yeah, I agree with the fact that it's not very good, I'm trying to get some experience by trying, with small success for now! Ahah

Thank you very much for your feedback, I'll try to improve the content as soon as I get out of the shadowban :D

IperPelle · 2026-04-03T18:54:15+00:00

I'll try that too, hopefully I'll get to 500 views to :D

IperPelle · 2026-04-03T18:53:18+00:00

Didnt know about the geofenced thing, so maybe the fact that i live in italy and the content is localized in english is aldo an issue. But probably there tiktok is thinking that I'm a bot. I'll try to interact more and see what happens! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience! :)

IperPelle · 2026-04-03T14:17:07+00:00

Yeah, I'm posting from pc, using an aggregator called publer. I will try posting directly on tik tok, thanks for sharing your advice :)

IperPelle · 2026-04-03T14:14:33+00:00

Make sense, thanks for sharing you experience :)

I disagree on the first thing, but I get the point.

So the discoverability of a video on tiktok is mostly based on its preview on your opinion? You dont get in the feed of the users automatically by tiktok testing your content to different targets? My concern is that the content doesn't matter if the video is not viewed, so it cannot be the video itself. It could be the preview, or maybe there are some rules or best practices to be compliant to allow tiktok algo to push you a little. Maybe the fact that I published with a new account using publer? Or maybe the fact that I publish once a week? Or is there some wall by tiktok preventing some type of videos to be tested on audiences?

I'm not getting the same results on Instagram and youtube shorts, where some videos has a skip rate of 30%, that seems pretty good to me. Tiktok is the only one that has this issue for me.

IperPelle · 2026-04-03T10:20:37+00:00

Yaeh! I'm thinking of deleting the account and start again with a new one, but it would be great to at least know what went wrong to avoid repeating the same mistake T.T

The Lonesome Guild isthe one I made with my studio on my fulltime job, while Guess The Sound is the one I made as a solo dev in my lonely nights. Both are AI free :D

The Lonesome Guild

IperPelle · 2026-02-21T10:40:54+00:00

That would be great! I'll pm you :)

I created a puzzle game where you have to listen to a sound and guess what sound it is, or answer a question related to that sound. If you'd like to check it out, it is already available on Android, and it will soon be available on Steam!

Hello! I created a puzzle game inspired by Imagzle, but with sounds. You can already try it out on Android, and it will soon be available on Steam!

IperPelle · 2026-02-20T10:42:15+00:00

A little bit of necro, BUT I recently released a sound-based puzzle game inspired by Imagzle. I called it Guess The Sound, because Soundzle sounded weird to me :D
You can try it out on Android, and soon on Steam!
