Is Instagram Replacing Facebook?

What do you all think?  Is Instagram a better social media platform for artists? Or is Facebook the best place to share our art with the cyber world? 

 

 

I'll be honest. I like Instagram better. I feel like it's easier to view, and I love that the feeds stay chronological. I don't like Facebook's algorithms because nobody knows what they do or why. I have never gotten much response from my Facebook Fan pages, and I can't get more friends on my personal page because I am at 5K. I love that Instagram is very willing to let me have as many followers as I can find.

 

 

But, when I compare some recent posts on both Facebook and Instagram, I get far more comments, and often more likes on Facebook. Maybe I just haven't been on Instagram long enough. Or, maybe Instagram is a less interactive platform.

 

 

What do you all think??

I haven't been with Instagram for long either, but I gather they are both owned by the same company. I love my Instagram feed because it is full of beautiful art... things I really want to see. Whereas I tend not to scroll through Facebook very much at all because I am quickly overwhelmed by political posts, images of animal cruelty, public arguments and adverts, none of which I want to see! I get very little engagement on my Facebook fan page, simply because it doesn't seem to reach many people, but I have made most of my sales through being seen on my Facebook personal timeline, even though I have a website. Instagram however seems very different. I seem to get one or two new followers each time I post, which is interesting because that rarely happens on my Facebook fan page, but I haven't made a sale from Instagram yet. I have now linked my Instagram to automatically post to my Facebook page each time I post because I do think it's worth being on both, but I personally find only one is worth actually looking though. I didn't realise you had a blog Debra!
