In your opinions, what are the best photo-based social media alternatives to Instagram for creators, artists and/or small businesses? I feel like my Insta account is near dead so I need to be looking at other sites too outside of Meta (I'll still be on here!)

I miss cohost. Tumblr is apparently still very popular for art and artists?

Vero was trying but I donโ€™t know how itโ€™s doing now. Flickr is still around but more for images than socials

I haven't tried this but heard good things about posting your own stuff to Pinterest so it's got actual attribution and links lol

I second Pinterest, it's where most of my website's traffic comes from and they tend to favor shoppable pins.

Pink sky!! It's on Bluesky's open protocol but all of the layout and features are Instagram-esque. I really like going on there to have a just art feed for a while

I know some people also really like mastodon but I haven't tried it because of some previous things I had heard about it. I also know Pixelfed exists, but I'm not sure how good or bad it is over there

Tumblr is still rolling along somehow, I find it quite difficult to keep up with but Iโ€™m sure your stuff would do well

Mr M suggested Pixelfed (which Iโ€™d never heard of, so donโ€™t know how successful that would be!)

pixelfed.org/

My creative offspring suggested Reels on Insta, if youโ€™re not already on it.
