Pallyy schedules a first comment on your Instagram posts: you write it in the post composer, and it publishes through the official API right after the post goes live. It's the popular spot for hashtags, keeping your caption clean while the hashtags still do their job.
Add a first comment to a post
Adding a first comment happens in the composer, right alongside the caption. In the post composer, fill in the first comment field on your Instagram post and schedule as normal. There's nothing to come back for: the comment is part of the post, so it goes out automatically.
When the first comment publishes
Your first comment publishes right after the post goes live, through the official Instagram API. You don't need to be online, and there's no separate schedule to manage. The post publishes, then the comment lands directly under it as the first reply.
Why put hashtags in the first comment
Hashtags work the same from the first comment as they do from the caption, which is exactly why it's such a popular spot for them. Your caption stays readable, your post still surfaces for the hashtags you've chosen, and followers scrolling their feed see your words instead of a wall of tags.
Frequently asked questions
Does the first comment publish automatically?
Yes. Pallyy publishes your Instagram first comment through the official API right after the post goes live, with no reminder or manual step.
Do hashtags in the first comment still work?
Yes. Instagram treats hashtags in the first comment like hashtags in the caption, which is why the first comment is the popular place to put them.
When do I write the first comment?
You write the first comment with the post itself, in Pallyy's composer. It's saved as part of the scheduled post and publishes right after the post does.
