I keep seeing people post things like “AMA this weekend!” on Instagram and Twitter. What does AMA actually mean on social media? Is it some kind of event or challenge?

AMA stands for “Ask Me Anything” — it’s basically a Q&A session where someone lets followers ask any questions. It started on Reddit but now lots of influencers use it on TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram.

Exactly! When someone says AMA, they’re inviting open questions, usually in stories or live streams. You can ask about hobbies, work, travel — anything. It’s a great way to interact with followers.

Some people also use AMA in Facebook posts to encourage engagement. Like “AMA about my trip to Japan!” — then followers comment questions and the poster replies. Easy way to boost interaction.

So is AMA always serious? Can it be fun too?

 

[Rolf]

Totally! AMAs can be fun, casual, or serious — it depends on the host. Some brands even do AMAs to answer product questions or share behind-the-scenes info.

Just don’t confuse it with other acronyms like AMA medical association or the American Marketing Association. On social media, it’s usually Ask Me Anything.
