Warming up a new TikTok account
How Ember warms a fresh TikTok account before its first post — what runs, over how long, and what it deliberately avoids.
Automated warm-up is live here. Watch, like and follow passes dispatch to a cloud phone; comments go to an approval queue first.
Why TikTok punishes a cold start hardest
TikTok's feed is almost entirely recommendation-driven rather than follow-driven. That is the reason a new account can go viral — and the reason a new account with no interest profile is guessing. There is no follower base to fall back on while the system works out what you are about.
What a run looks like
- Watch passes. The bulk of the run. Videos from your chosen niche, watched at varying lengths rather than uniformly to completion.
- Like passes. A minority of watched videos, spread across the run rather than clustered.
- Follow passes. A small number of relevant creators, which builds a follow graph consistent with the niche.
- Comments. Drafted and held for your approval by default. Auto-posting is opt-in per account, not the default.
Pacing
A run lasts one to five hours and ramps rather than starting at full rate, because a burst of activity from a minutes-old account is itself the signal you are trying to avoid producing. Steps land on a 30-minute cadence across the run.
What it does not do
It does not post your clips, does not use your TikTok password, and does not promise a view count. See what warming up can and cannot do for the honest scope.
