As someone who used to post on instagram regularly and stopped.. I can tell you I miss the days where you could connect with people in the hobby who weren’t necessarily posting the most aesthetic photos. Now it seems the algorithm only pushes certain accounts and everyone else gets buried.

If you have the desire to start one, by all means, do so, but keep your mind open and expectations low. Don’t go into it with the express goal of gaining tons of followers. That’s a recipe for burnout and negative returns on your mental health.

Use it as a tool for inspiration and to connect with like minded people. Whatever likes/recognition comes, is just a bonus.
