Oh, I thought you were talking about reels. You can influence your algorithm by sharing and interacting with the content you like. I've found that DMimg someone content is pretty effective if you want to train your algorithm to see similar content.

They know all crazy sorts of shit. They even have systems for gauging attention. I take advantage of it to watch funny racism videos and people hurting themselves.

Were you on insta when the reels were all just gore? Crazy couple days.

>>4426546
>Were you on insta when the reels were all just gore? Crazy couple days.
No, I use a browser version since I'm trying to avoid everything Meta, so I never see reels thankfully. I keep IG for social reasons and not knowing where else to share photos (besides /rpt/ threads).

>>4426544
Huh, that's unexpected.
I have just tried to hide content and like stuff, but it foesn't really help. 95% of my feed is reels.
Reels about photography, to be sure, but I don't want any of it. I just want to see photos, and preferably from smaller users.

I still get about 60 notes a day. Big trending meme posts get over 100k notes in a day so the platform is still decently sized.

For tumblr use groups, so more people can discover your art. For me, it is the best social network, where the emphasis is not on the artist (influencer), but on art.

share with who? bots? yes. it is one of the most heavily botted websites on earth. its raison d’etre is advertising after all. its a meta inc product. do you like mark zuckerberg? he thinks you’re an idiot.

for real people get a flickr or tumblr

what I want is just to put my photos up so people can stumble on them. I'm not gonna shill and I don't have a website or anything.

I don't think anyone is actually exposed to photos on instagram anymore. I never ever see photos in my feed, despite trying to force the algorithm.
Is there any good alternative to instagram?
I used to use 500px about a decade ago

Do you cunts bother with tags and all this shit

>>4431779
I still see plenty, but that's probably because I only follow people that post photos and not reels. Nobody I know posts reals and will at most post a video on their story, but that's it.

>>4431800
I still do but their ability to actually do anything is nerfed. You used to be able to tag something and get dozens or hundreds of likes with not many followers, but now it doesn't do anything. Maybe the userbase has shrunk or maybe it just doesn't work anymore, I don't know.

>>4431820
I ONLY follow people who don't post reels.
My feed is still just reels. 100% reels.

The 3 in the middle from the bottom upward work well with it, but for some things it doesn't really work (the bird, the Buddha, the concert). Using it sparingly might be the key.

Okay, serious question - should I make Instagram account if I simply upload stuff to my own site, running on Wordpress? When I was doing photos at anime convention some time ago, many people asked me for Instagram or how to "tag" me on social media, one performance group suggested making IG account because they considered my photos really good. Then again, I'm a bit afraid of this whole "war against algorithms" and tons of guides about how to upload, comment and post on IG to avoid being pushed into oblivion by IG.

>I'm a bit afraid of this whole "war against algorithms" and tons of guides about how to upload, comment and post on IG to avoid being pushed into oblivion by IG.

Don't care about algorithms, just use it for sharing and being happy if it does get seen by chance. If you're doing anime conventions and all that, an IG is absolutely essential, since they will follow you on it and word of mouth can help your page spread further.

Mostly film, sometimes digital. Shooting more and more portraits.

You are still craving attention even if that is your mother. I am just more honest about my desires. People don't take you seriously as an artist if you don't have followers on Instagram. This is a sad fact but it is a fact.

People are naturally drawn to contrast, so strong shadows and bright highlights with some good color makes people goon.

>>4463513
If you think that followers don't matter in current year you are literally retarded. When you contact the photobook publishers they ask you what kind of audience do you have. If you want to go anywhere you need to have followers or at least an account with high engagement on top on having skills.

>the arts make a shitty refuge for it
Crazy because my art when on steroids after I developed mental illness.

>>4463518

DC street/event 'photographer', mix of digital and 35mm film. Very much an amateur hobbyist. Never used IG before this page so am still looking for best practices. New to photography and still developing my style. Trying to elevate street work beyond cute girls, old couples holding hands, and homeless people.

Interested in everything but landscape, will be going through the thread and checking out the anons here.

>>4463518
I've used my IG as an unofficial portfolio to send off for photography companies, but I've never been approached as a result of having one. I'm not sure the algorithm even really works well at promoting people anymore.

Okay, maybe it's stupid question but - how people are expected to use Instagram? Various people tells me it is absolutely essential so I guess I will have to make account after all. But what to put in it? I upload galleries of my photos at private site so I guess I should put 5-10-15 "best of" photos from such galleries when I upload one and provide link? I'm sorry but I never used IG and have barely even experience with FB or other social media.

Next day, when I added some profile pic, short bio info and started adding some example photos, account was again blocked, this time demanding, along with phone number again, selfie photo. After an hour, account was unlocked again but I'm not seriously afraid of doing anything with it. Also, tried to actually follow some accounts but after clicking "follow", button would change to "invitation sent" and still remains so next day. Could it be that I'm somehow still banned or something?

>>4466916
Same shit happened to me. I made a new account and Zuck told me to take a video selfie of myself. Fucking subhuman pieces of trash.

I don't know why this is happening. Maybe ask >>>/g/

>>4466921
Last time I asked /g/ I got rant about how I shouldn't use any kind of social media and all associated talk about freedom, invigilation, resisting the system (I want to show people my photos, for fuck sake, if cosplayers/event organisers insist on having such account for communication, then I'm going to make one solely for that purpose), free software and all that. Contrary to what they expect, people won't "react with respect" for using Mastodon instead of IG and "I didn't made account yet" is more socially acceptable than "it's all one, big conspiracy, we should only use open source alternatives!".

Kek, I also went full privacy schizo after lurking on /g/. But I discovered quickly that it is a lost battle for artists. Instagram is our need.

Maybe try from another email and a different IP address. Also use chrome browser without any privacy settings.

>>4466937
Long time no see anon. I recognize you from years ago when you were doing work for Vogue Italia I think. I really dig your aesthetics.

>>4466975
Thing is, I specifically used same email as with Facebook (which I had to make anyway year ago) and separate browser profile with disabled any anti-tracking stuff, as vanilla as it can get. In theory, I could link both accounts but then I could risk getting both disabled (so far, Facebook didn't complain).

>>4466921
It's because of new age verification laws, as some countries have made it so that people under 16 can't use social media and now people have to verify they're old enough to use social media. For the US though, where they're fighting back against it, Zuck is just using it to tie your face to everything you do on Meta services.

There are different bypasses in progress like using AI face filters for verification but I don't know enough about tech to do something like that or provide any guidance.

>>4466975
You can minimize how much shit Meta gets. I use it through a VPN and a browser with a very generic fingerprint. I don't have the app on my phone either and use the browser version. It works like shit on purpose but the app is extremely invasive and I don't recommend installing it on your phone if you care about privacy.

>>4466990
If you have a Facebook that has your photos on it already, there's no loss in linking them and doing the face verification then. It's already a lost cause at that point.

>>4467256
>It works like shit on purpose
Yes, I have noticed this too. Modern internet is hell. Imagine not having a functioning website.

>>4467256
>but the app is extremely invasive and I don't recommend installing it on your phone if you care about privacy

Meanwhile those assholes blocked some options in web version like adding links. Sure, I can just paste address of my private site as plain text but still.

>>4467288
>noooooo you should encrypt links you can't handle such delicate information as plaintext the EFF doesn't approve it!!!

>>4467303
This isn't about hiding info or not, people won't copy and paste link into browser, they expect it in clickable format.

I already follow some of you guys, you rock and make my IG feed less obnoxious (photographers in my area are a bunch of posers).

>>4467319
Based, I recognize your name so you must post regularly.
(I don't post regularly but I want to, work is kicking my ass, pls don't unfollow)

people who get neurotic and offended like this about follows are so strange >>4463074
unless you're trying to make money off it for some reason, online stuff doesn't matter. just make one for irl networking and for when normies ask to see your pictures. as a bonus, you can use it to follow photographers you like

Hey I don't care you follow me or not, I just want feedback on my pictures. https://www.instagram.com/jaymalick

I must say - after that "adventure" with IG being blocked twice after I made account, I'm honestly afraid of posting anything or even posting account name here. Made few posts with multiple photos in each (I think it's called carousel), couldn't even post link to my site with actual galleries because IG only allows adding links in phone application (I refuse to install one) and honestly don't know what to do now.

>>4468872
What did you post to get blocked? Skin?

>>4469009
First I was blocked hour after making account, probably anti-bit system. Second, after adding profile photo and making 4 posts. Added 5th later but I'm afraid of adding more.

>>4468804

I’m kinda shit and only have my phone. But here’s my Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/okay_hinduisms?igsh=ajUwN3g0NHJlMmMx&utm_source=qr. any advice at all encouraged and also tell me what camera I should buy.

>>4469020

Unironically if you could get a telephoto shot of this and make the flag bigger it would be dope (gl backing up enough on the what looks like a 30fter)

I personally like a lower f number and an off camera flash for what you’re doing, but I like it

moved to norway in december, so it’s mostly just pictures of norway. still looking at things like a tourist. i think my pictures from america are better.

I had a question I was going to ask on /sqt/ but this seems related enough to me.
I'm borrowing a DSLR camera for the time being and I started uploading my pics to an instagram account where basically only 4 or 5 people I know IRL check them out frequently (including the person I borrowed that camera from, I think that was their purpose to begin with)
IG compresses pictures to shit and it isn't great for showing pictures at full resolution either. So that got me thinking: If I got a new camera for myself, should I even give a fuck about how sharp my images are if I can't even take proper pictures in the first place? I've been looking at pricey DSLR cameras and some mirrorless shit out there, but wouldn't it be better as a starter to look for something more convenient instead of something with an image quality no one's going to even be able to notice?

>>4470960
instagram is a goy activity and dedicated cameras are for actual people

>>4470965
I understand, but are actual people bothered about brand loyalty and what a picture looks like when zoomed in hard like some faggots in this board are?

>>4470960
Take pictures however you want, as long as you're enjoying it. Fuck the noise dude.

>>4470960
Something to keep in mind is that quality that is displayed can change in the future and you can always lower quality but not get it back. So if you ever take some photos you love and have them in shit quality, they're shit quality forever.

You can also get higher quality pictures on Instagram if you start with smaller images. So if you compressed the photo yourself to say 500x500 and used 95 quality, it will pretty much be that when you upload it.

I'm here. https://www.instagram.com/v1sion3s?igsh=MThjNGtpNXdrbG01OA==

Nervous about showing my work to you guys.

>>4470877
too gay for me

>no decent alternatives to IG
It saddens me bros. I know Flickr exists but that has no reach and is mainly extreme autists.

IG is dead for creatives. By posting there, you give license to AI to reference to generate further slop. I don't know how photographers can share work online anymore without it feeding an AI. This is like we are back in the 1910s.

>>4478556
Hi cANON

Why not try imgur?

>>4478556
Tumblr, unironically, start a blog.
VERO also exists and you should get on it before they start charging people money to make accounts

>>4478635
What?

>>4478652
>Tumblr, unironically, start a blog.
Not a terrible idea I guess, I'd heard Tumblr has made a bit of a comeback.

>>4478604
True but everyone expects you to have it. I was using just my private site for years but recently noticed that nobody enters it as visits dropped significantly. Likewise when photographing for cons and such, nobody would share link to my site on social media (I assume that FB/IG don't like external links at all and either block it outright or "shadowban" posts with them) and every single person I would interact with would ask me for IG for contact/sharing/authorship.

It's a bit of sad, actually.

Most of you guys take good pics! Who knew...in /p/ out of all places

>>4470973
instagram normies don't care, they will upboat anything if it looks pretty, including phone pics with heavy handed filters and AI generated slop

>>4478995
We just come to /p/ to fight autistic gearfaggot wars, but we don't want to connect our own photos (and thereby identity) to those tantrums.

Dropping mine in here again
@magnusferdinand

Doing a mix of photos and video. Just had a comeback again after a year of not installing Lightroom because it doesn’t work on Linux

>>4469430
If you just plan on doing snapshits, any low-entry Fujifilm will do. Though phones have gotten pretty good now so I guess you don’t need buy anything for now

>>4426533
Should I make an Instagram for sharing muh fodos in 2025? Mostly I just post them here.

>>4482842
Might as well, I think about half of the people following me are from here. Which is quite a lot actually, something like 50 or 60.

RIP to my Ausbros, instagram is about to get really quiet for Australia and the EU soon.

>>4484815
nice rock autism

>>4487327
They're not rocks, they're minerals.

>>4487330
as I said, nice autism.
Just joking m8, nice photos.

>>4487337
they are 3d printed gems that i made (i sculpted them in VR). not sure what flavor of autism that is. Thanks.

>>4487375
they re resin right? fdm would quite suck for that i swear

>>4487387
>they re resin right? fdm would quite suck for that i swear

Yeah the gems in the screenshot are clear / translucent resin. Amazing what you can get in current year.

I do 95% of my 3d prints on FDM machines but for gems i go with the resin :)

>>4484714
yes that was me, did I hurt your fee fees?

>>4487932
>in fact, it was not him.

Can anyone guide or help me to recovering my account? I noticed that my account's email got mysteriously changed but I was in the middle of a trip to be able to do anything about it. And now I can't access it at all because the faggot who took it changed the passwords.

What is the best export setting for this piece of trash website? It burled the fuck out of my photos. I uploaded them from website and they were fine but phone they look like they were taken on a fucking potato FUUUUCCCK

>>4488603
Zuck will ask you to send him videos of your butthole.
Contact the insta team asap

>>4488784
That's not due to any export setting.
Instagram often just likes to not show the full (Instagram) resolution of images when you view them. Sometimes it "pops in" after a short while, but it has nothing to do with your local connection. It is insta deciding not to give your images bandwidth.

>>4488784
I had the same problem. Instagram seems to be optimized for phones (as it was originally designed to be a platform for phone pictures) So if you use high format pictures those appear bigger and in higher resolution on the phone. Anything else will get compressed to shit and only be shown very small naturally.
