Do you have any advice for transferring from Tumblr to Instagram as a study social media person? As in what is it to expect and do you think there’s a large difference between the two communities?
ahh hello!! so i use both platforms, but i actually do tend to use instagram more than tumblr.
i think that the major difference between tumblr and instagram (which is sort of obvious lmao) is that on instagram you can’t reblog things, you just post your own original content. in a way, i like that because it keeps everything simpler and i don’t have to worry about queuing a bunch of things all the time and i can just sort of look at people’s content and see what i like and what i don’t like.
another major difference that i think a lot of people feel, but that i don’t really think about, is that you can’t reblog things so you should post more often?? i don’t know, i don’t feel like i have to post everyday to be active, i feel like i just should post what i like.
one thing that i actually prefer about tumblr is that people can’t see your follower count or your activity and honestly i think that kind of makes it better. people get caught up in followers and likes and activity on instagram and i think they get very self-conscious about it. i was for a time, but then i realized that it doesn’t really matter as long as i’m putting out content i like?? so i would just encourage you to post content that you love and just be content in that fact!
after all those cons, however, instagram is a wonderful place to interact with people!! everyone there, much like here, is so nice and welcoming and it’s also a great platform alike tumblr!!
