Actively replying to every comment within the first 60 minutes of posting triggers Instagram's algorithm and pushes each reply thread into a second engagement cycle, effectively doubling the comment count without requiring new content. This directly defends the 10.35% engagement rate, which already outperforms the nano-tier benchmark of 3.5-8%.
