Yes, it kind of is hypocritical to ask this on a social media platform, but what do you guys get out of it?

    Do you find Instagram is still working well for you for this purpose?

    I signed up due to popular pressure at some point, and in the beginning the chronological feed was very nice. I would use it maybe once a week or less, and like the stuff my friends had posted since last time.

    Then over time, my friends’ content started drowning in I don’t even know what. Sometimes I would see a post or two, but I would never see everything they had posted since last time. It just didn’t work as a platform to use for consuming a finite amount of content.

    I ended up abandoning ship. But it sucks a bit, as my friends might still be on there posting things I would have been happy to see.

      Yeah I agree the home feed sucks now, for chronological purposes. It used to be better. But what I do is I favorite (star?) close friends/family so that it gives me a notification whenever they post something. For everyone else, I might miss their updates especially since I don’t spend forever on there…
