It's hilariously wild to me how much more reach my Pixelfed posts have over Instagram.
I just started a new Instagram (for work, I have Meta, but you need it to reach out to influencers and stuff), and there are three likes on about 40 photos.
I just uploaded two new photos to my Pixelfed, and BAM, likes are FLOODING IN because I use the proper hashtags.
IG is straight-up garbage for creatives and photographers.
