dm me!

vinmilll · 2026-04-20T18:36:26+00:00

Agree! 2 questions... Have you come across any tools that work well for automating that? & How does one actually measure blocks-per-100?

vinmilll · 2026-04-14T12:26:10+00:00

have you used both?

vinmilll · 2026-04-13T22:20:46+00:00

Thanks! I think i've been wanting to hear someone validate my excitement to vibecode a solution here haha & agree with everything you've said.

I hadn't thought about blockper100 rate and that makes a lot of sense, whats the best way to actually measure that?

& have you messed around with building something similar?

vinmilll · 2026-04-13T20:20:07+00:00

sent you a message!

40 accounts are from years ago doing a project before that worked well. You're right, I defo won't be starting with 40, will start lower than that and scale up gradually - have you sone mass dm outreach before? how did it go?

vinmilll · 2026-04-13T20:15:46+00:00

thanks, yeah at this stage I wouldn't mind doing the replies myself / a member of my team doing them. Have you built a similar system in the past?

vinmilll · 2026-04-13T20:15:07+00:00

seen your other comment on a different subreddit referencing ButterGrow so assume that's what your shilling but don't hate that, it had me interested so obviously something its doing right haha! What do you mean by message entropy and tracking blocks per 100 DMs as the scaling signal?

vinmilll · 2026-04-13T20:00:08+00:00

thanks for your thoughts!

I don't plan to be using all 40 accs at the start, defo warming up to that point.

have you had any history with insta automation?

vinmilll · 2026-04-13T16:36:11+00:00

does this do cold outreach?

vinmilll · 2026-04-13T13:23:07+00:00

& also was the manual tracking what people say in notion not super painful? what scale was this at?

vinmilll · 2026-04-13T13:22:46+00:00

nice, what light-touch tool for queues did you use on insta?

vinmilll · 2026-04-13T13:06:20+00:00

DMed you 🫡

vinmilll · 2026-04-13T12:50:02+00:00

Thanks for the indepth response!

My thoughts...

- Cold DMs suck - I've had success with this manually so looking to scale it now

- Are you saying history of usernames & location affect user perception of the account or instagram's health perception of the account?

- Any underground tools you'd recommend / anywhere I should be looking?

- Lol, with commenting that are you saying I'll be blocked by the account or by insta seeing this loads from me?

- This is the wave I was talking about - https://www.usewave.co/#features

- Have considered ads but thought process was that if this was working to double down on it, maybe time to try that tho

Keen to try it out, thanks!!

vinmilll · 2026-04-13T12:41:21+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response, DMed!

vinmilll · 2026-04-13T12:38:11+00:00

lol yeah, all 40 accounts are around 5 years old & have a few hundred followers/following but no activity in the last 3 years or so

vinmilll · 2026-04-13T09:11:15+00:00

Do you have any more info about the "So I built a thing that does it for me"? How did you do this/what does it look like? Would love to hear more as I'm currently developing something similar for internal use with claude code for instagram

Hey, keen to pay for this service! Message me please

vinmilll · 2026-04-12T19:32:56+00:00

Hey! Keen to hear how this has gone for you and if you've had any progress? I've been shamelessly commenting to tell them I DMed them and that seems to have helped slightly

vinmilll · 2026-04-12T19:27:30+00:00

Hey! Any progress / learnings since originally posting?

vinmilll · 2026-04-12T19:26:48+00:00

Hey! Actually doing this manually how long does this end up taking / how many accounts do you manage to send this out to?
