How Many Posts Are Shown

The number of Instagram posts that appear in your feed depends on two things: how big you make your grid, and how many posts Drip Socials keeps in sync. Understanding both helps you set up a feed that always looks full.

Your Grid Determines the Display Count

The number of posts shown in a feed equals its columns × rows. For example:

3 columns × 3 rows = 9 posts
4 columns × 2 rows = 8 posts
6 columns × 1 row = 6 posts

Drip Socials fills the grid with your most recent posts, in order, starting from the newest.

The Synced Media Limit

Behind the scenes, Drip Socials syncs a set number of your most recent posts from Instagram (the app keeps your latest media, not your entire history). If your grid is larger than the number of posts available, the feed simply shows the posts you have — empty cells won't be padded with placeholders.

Making Sure Your Feed Looks Full

Keep your grid size at or below the number of recent posts you have.

If you have very few Instagram posts, choose a smaller grid (for example 3×2).

Post regularly on Instagram so there's always fresh content to fill larger grids.

Which Posts Get Included

Drip Socials includes your recent:

Photos
Videos (shown using the video's thumbnail image)
Carousel albums (shown using the album's cover image)

Only your most recent posts are kept, and deleted posts drop off on the next refresh.

Tips

If a feed looks sparse, reduce the rows or columns until the grid fills.
New posts appear after the next scheduled refresh, so a fresh grid may fill in over time.
Use different grid sizes for different placements to match how much content each area should show.
