Struggling with boosting your Instagram followers and engagement? Consider joining an Instagram Pod. An Instagram engagement pod is a group of users who cluster together in group chats or forums where users indicate to the rest of the group that they have just posted a photo or video on Instagram.
The other users in the 'pod' will then go like, comment, follow or share your post to help each other increase engagement on their content. In turn, other Instagrammers who aren't in the pod are more likely to engage with that post; seeing that it's so popular and everyone else is presumably jumping on the bandwagon.
There are pods with more than 1 000 active participants, and pods that have 100 or fewer active users. The big ones, while easier to join, can give your profile an unrealistic sudden boost, which also means Instagram will catch you out and might even suspend your account for using unauthorized ways to gain traction. It's against their regulations which you agreed to when you signed up. 
If you want to take a risk and join a Kenyan Instagram pod, follow these hashtags and engage with a few posts. Eventually, you might be added to a pod and increase engagement on your posts:
