I guess if I needed more of a nudge to get off Instagram, maybe this is it? I mean, I still follow some great photographers there and of course friends, but really? Why even do this? Glad I have Pixelfed, thanks @dansup.

An announcement from Instagram, "Following Hashtags won't be possible soon" "On December 13, hashtags you follow will no longer be visible in your feed and you won't be able to follow more of them." "OK" button

@adamhsparks @dansup where do you see such notification? Tried to subscribe to some more hashtags, works fine.

I have 932 followers on Instagram, and only 115 on Pixelfed. I know many folks from over the years on Instagram that I've met in real life, while on Pixelfed it's mostly strangers that are interested in my Photography. Yet I reliably get more engagement from Pixelfed than Instagram. Sometimes FAR more than Instagram. It reminds me in ways of Flickr when it was good. Having that one photo you uploaded just hitting the right spot at the right time and being "Explored". Nothing like this exists with Instagram any longer. It's just too hard to get any engagement even with the crowd that you "know" for whatever reason.
