Fellow Newbies - Image reactions depend on where you post. Sharing some basic insights from a small reactions test with you all.
Last weekend I scheduled four different external generation posts to CivitAI. All with very similar content 5 portraits with different seeds, but quite comparable selection.
Where examples
The main difference was where these images were posted:
My feed (https://civitai.com/posts/8291369)
Hyper Realism Lora (https://civitai.com/posts/8291662)
Flux Midjourney outdated version 0.2 (https://civitai.com/posts/8291520)
Flux Midjourney current version 0.4 (https://civitai.com/posts/8291593)
Results
Of course the results were as expected:
My feed (4 reactions)
Flux Midjourney outdated version 0.2 (18 reactions)
Flux Midjourney current version 0.4 (21 reactions)
Hyper Realism Lora 0.3 preview (32 reactions)
Importance of cross-post and LORA posts
Similar content gains more views and reactions if you include current versions of LORAs. This just highlights how important the posting and cross posts to LORAs is, especially if you are new on the platform and have a following below 1k.
Post your external generated images to the LORA that contributed most and is currently new/interesting. Or a LORA with few cross posts but a strong appeal.
This grants your images one more visible spot to be interacted with. Instead of disappearing in the bottomless daily feeds.
Apart from getting featured or using the Beggars Board this is one method to be more visible.
So go experiment with new LORAs that get popular, create something new and post it to LORAs that you find unique.
There's another positive upside to it! If you post to LORAs pages the LORA creators receive BUZZ too!
Happy experimenting!
