Canberra runners - help!

I’ve recently got into running but am facing a conundrum: I want to continue running but am terrified of swooping season. 😂

Do magpies target runners? And if they do, are there any well known, magpie free routes in Canberra or do I need to accept my fate and look into purchasing a running pad while I hibernate over the next couple of months or so?

From an enthusiastic but terrified runner

Unpopular opinions about The O.C.?

What’s the most unpopular opinion you hold about the show?

For me, it’s probably that I liked Theresa (and preferred her to Marissa) 😅

Trial reel on 0 views?!

I posted a trial reel a couple of hours ago and it’s still at 0 views. Anyone know what could cause this - and do I delete & repost? I’ve posted a handful of trial reels over the last week and this hasn’t happened with any of the others…

Wtf?!

What is going on with TT’s algorithm 😭

First I was stuck in 100 view jail (and I thought 200-300 view jail was bad!) then that seemed to resolve but now my content is getting barely any engagement from random accounts but it also seems like it’s not being shown to many of my friends/followers. My content is the same as before but engagement has wildly changed with all of this.

Is anyone else having the same issue? Is my content being shown to the wrong audience or is there something else going on?

Where to find UGC work (Australia)?

I’ve been relying on incoming collabs but want to be more proactive about seeking opportunities out. What are some good apps/sites etc for UGC work here in Australia?

TikTok lives!

Do these actually work to grow followings? And what on earth do we do - is it just literally the person sitting there chatting about anything and doing whatever or is there some strategy behind it? 😅

Best coffee in Woden?

Help a girl out and tell me your favourite! Space Kitchen is top of my list. (Or Fika if I’m in the car.) I used to really like Espresso Room at Westfield but I feel like they’re not quite as good.

Ways to improve retention rate?

What are some ways?? Is it all based on the first batch of viewers the app tests your content with? I try using hooks, editing out silences/pauses etc and keeping my speaking videos on the shorter end but my retention rate seems to sit around 5-15% on average (if I get any higher than that, it’s a good one for me 🫠). It’s so frustrating as well because there’s someone I’m friends with on the app who often posts videos that are 2-4 minutes long, speaks slowly and takes ages to get to the point and yet their videos seem to get heaps of likes comparatively so I don’t know what I’m missing with engagement & retention rate?

Engagement drop?

Has anyone else noticed a recent drop in engagement on TikTok (or is it just a reflection that my content quality has dropped)?

I’m only a small creator (1.4k followers) but my videos used to get 30+ likes and are now struggling at times to even get 20 although views remain similar. I’ve also found fewer people commenting etc but I feel like that’s more to do with a bunch of mums in the mum community over there suddenly stopping engaging with my posts. 🤷‍♀️ (kinda feel like I’ve been shunned by that community haha)

I’ve also found there’s a relatively high engagement rate as the first 100 or so views trickle in (so slowly!!) but then there’s this sudden push where views double or triple in like 10 minutes but there’s hardly any engagement once the push happens. Anyone else been finding this?
