低浮上

• 読み: ていふじょう
• ローマ字: tei fujō
• 漢字の分解: 低 (tei, low) + 浮上 (fujō, surfacing) → low activity / rarely coming online
• 発音: /te.i.fu.jō/

意味

Being rarely online or having low social media activity, often announced as a status update to followers.

A compound of 低 (tei, 'low') and 浮上 (fujō, 'surfacing'). 低浮上 is commonly used as a self-description or announcement when someone expects to be less active on social media — during exams, busy work periods, or personal issues. It functions as a polite heads-up to followers, explaining why someone may not be responding to messages or posting as frequently. Many users put 低浮上 in their profile bio during such periods.
