A social media move where someone posts content specifically to test whether TikTok's algorithm will surface it on the For You Page — essentially a calibration post to see if you're still in the algorithm's good graces. Doing an FYP check means putting out something and watching the metrics to gauge your reach. It's also used when commenters want to help push a video algorithmically by engaging with it. The phrase acknowledges that the FYP isn't just discovered — it's gamed.
