What Should Founders Learn From the First 1,000 Users of a Social App?

If users follow only one or two accounts, their feeds may remain limited.

The platform can improve discovery through suggested creators and related accounts.

Study Comments and Replies

Comments often reveal stronger engagement than likes.

A user who receives a thoughtful response may feel more connected to the community.

Founders should therefore monitor conversations, not only content views.

Listen to Support Questions

Customer support can become a valuable source of product research.

Every repeated support question may indicate a design problem.
