Hello,

I noticed that a lot of you are opening posts the past few days about FYP views. And I want to be absolutely transparent with you and share some more information with you.

Im super happy to hear that the FYP has become such a massive part of Fansly for a lot of you and I totally understand that also new creators that hear about all the great FYP stories are worried that they are not getting enough views in the first weeks.

It can also be very frustrating when your FYP suddenly drop and your income is directly tied to the FYP like many of you report.

We are constantly working on improving the FYP and are listening very closely to our community and watching your feedback and our internal statistics. So I want to thank everyone for all the great feedback and success stories and of course also the negative reports. This helps us immensely to further improve Fansly and the FYP.

First of all: the FYP is a social algorithm similar to other social media sites, while it can help your discovery a lot, it is sadly also not a guarantee. External promotion is still advised.

All the great stories about creating a very successful Fansly with no external promotion, can sometimes create false promises / hope. While this is certainly possible and we see a lot of creators reporting a lot of success, always keep in mind that this sometimes can take months to get to this point. You can certainly go viral in your first week but that is not something you should expect to happen.

FYP performance may also fluctuate from week to week or month to month. Certain trends such as holiday events or other influences we have no control about might suddenly make certain content more popular. It is always important to keep an eye on which of your posts do well in the FYP and see if you can post more of it or try out new things if your current content suddenly starts getting less traction.

In general we suggest treating your Fansly like other algorithm based sites like instagram or TikTok. Try posting frequently and try to post content that varies from time to time. As for hashtags, we do not recommend using more than 10-15 per post.

Gaining traction in the FYP can take a while. Sometimes creators see traffic in their first week, sometimes it takes a couple of months of consistent posting. New posts in general might only see FYP traffic after 1-3 days.

In general, try to post content that catches the users attention fast. When blurring try to only blur the important parts and not the entire image. Always keep in mind users swipe through hundreds of pictures and videos, posting content that sticks out will usually get the most attention.

​

To address the issues I have seen:

The majority of issues in the recent posts seem to be from people in certain regions that experience issues lately with the FYP, especially Eastern Europe could have potentially been negatively affected. While the FYP does not take region into account there have been some changes regarding spam detection due to a lot of reports from users and creators. This potentially could have affected other creators in the region. We are currently looking into this so creators that are affected should soon see their traffic pick up again.

However, please note that very heavy spam and trying to artificially boost your likes or page traffic and getting reported a lot by other creators can have a negative impact on your internal discovery. Creators reports are of course always verified and managed by our support team. So false reports will not affect your account!

Very heavy use of S4S could also potentially negatively affect your internal reach as we have a lot of creators and users complaining about the spam that results from it. S4S is something that is important to a lot of our creators but it is not something that should be required to do well in the FYP. In general we want our creators to be able to be discovered fully on their own without feeling forced to engage in s4s or even purchasing s4s from other creators.

Sharing your account with someone that engages in malicious activity, even with other accounts, is also something we heavily advise against. Please make sure to only share your account with users you absolutely trust. For your security we recommend using our management code feature.

These steps are important to keep Fansly fair and safe but we will take a deeper look into why this seems to affect some creators in those regions that may have not engaged in any of those activities directly. As I said above this seems to mainly happen for the Eastern Europe region, and only accounts that previously had a lot of views and saw a sudden drop are affected by this issue.

I hope this helps a bit and you can be sure that we will do our best to keep improving the FYP and keeping Fansly a safe space for everyone.
