Any tips for creating physics social media content?

I've collected a few starting points (below) but would love to hear from anyone who has their own account! I know TikTok is super popular so any advice on that, in particular, would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Hi, sorry, I don't understand. Could you explain furthermore what must be an example? PF is actually a social media.

Have you looked through PF's Facebook page? That will give you an idea about how Greg uses social media to post Physics content and also at the same time promote PF.

I guess I mean more like social media that'll reach young people. So, for the purpose of outreach for example. Are there any particular formats for TikTok videos that are very engaging, or types of images that people want to see? Etc.
