Its going through a few changes at the moment, ( read someone screwed up the "update") but it always was very good, and hopefully it will be again before too long.Flicker,
As I understand it, that is exactly what its for it seems you can only post from a phone.When I 've looked at Instagram it seemed more for phone snaps
My mate joined the dating service, and wasn't sure whether to take the girl out for a meal, or down the park to play ballmodified by aps to give pet features
When I 've looked at Instagram it seemed more for phone snaps (modified by aps to give pet features) than for photographers. My kids probably love it

Speaking as someone that rarely uses his phone for Internet purposes, that sounds like a lot of faff to me.I can post from my laptop to Instagram via my phone in under a minute.

But I guess it works for some people
As simple as exporting any file from Lightroom or whatever other image processing software you use.
I don'tIf you use Lightroom
Not a chance in hell ( but of course that's another discussion that's been done to death )and have everything syned to Adobe's cloud
A still common misconception of Instagram. Yes you can only post from your phone but it's very easy to get any image onto your smartphone to post. There is a lot of incredible photography on Instagram, and most of it isn't taken with people's phones. I can post from my laptop to Instagram via my phone in under a minute.
If you use Lightroom and have everything syned to Adobe's cloud then it's even easier as you can access your LR catalog directly from your phone.
I am not interested in followers, though I often engage with extremely nice fellas of flickr, and we discuss some aspect of some particular shot. I'm not interested in advertising my activity or my brand or a craft related to photography, or in competing for likes. If I were, I'd use Instagram. I'm sure there is some great photography on instagram, but I'd have to waste a lot of time finding it buried beneath HDR monstrosities, digital filters, oversharpening, oversaturation, and poor phone snaps.
Instagram is in many ways the same as Flickr, you just need to spend a minute or two learning how to navigate around it. And lets face it there's plenty of HDR monstrosities, digital filters, oversharpening, oversaturation, and poor phone snaps on Flickr too.
My best guess is that its instant so all these selfies and dog like images are on the Internet, as soon as they are taken,Why did't Instagram just make it so you can upload from a PC? Not to seems a bit stupid.
Here is a link to a YouTube vid on how to upload from a PC to InstagramIf you've got a Mac you can post direct to Instagram using Safari. Develop/User Agent/ select Safari iOS iPhone. The browser will change so it looks like an iPhone and you can then upload to instagram. I guess there might be work arounds for PC's too.
Instagram is owned by Facebook and I suspect it's all about tracking. Things like ad-blockers are far less common on phones and people can easily remove exif and location data from camera photos, in fact they may not have that data in the first place. From your phone facebook can link your Instagram account to your facbook account and use it to feed into targetted advertising.Why did't Instagram just make it so you can upload from a PC?

I tend to upload albums to facebook from my PC, and then share the ones I want from there to Instagram to save me the hassle of copying them to my phone.
Flickr is going down the hill but seriously Zuckerberg's instagram is so damn awful and underpowered and intentionally crippled (mobile only, crappy search, etc) I fail to see how anyone could find it attractive.
Flickr for me every time , my stuff is stored in chronological order with all exit data intact . It’s easy to use ,supports images as big as I wish to post ....
Yeah there’s also instagram,what’s app, plus others and not forgetting tons of groups on faceberk .. which is where the main problem lies . I put one pic on Flickr and can add it to 60 groups as one upload ,if I put it on faceoff I hav3 to manually add it to lots of different groups and if friends have done the same I see the same image several times over it’s a bloody shambles
It's attractive because of it's user base. Yeah, it's crappy, but it's the only game around sadly.
I get it but in a way that sounded almost like gulags were attractive because so many people were put in them, or that somehow STDs are attractive!
If it is so bad and it is people should just move on. Just posting an image from dSLR is near impossible, and then you can't have a working weblink!
Generally the idea is to use Instagram as a window to your own website
It’s pretty easy to get to the bio and their website link. It’s not exactly hidden, just click on their instagram name and it comes up in the text.That's precisely what I would want to do except no links allowed. Nobody bothers with generic link in bio, they'd never find image burried 3-4 levels deep

I wouldn't call it crappy and I'm not sure what you're referring to there, but it's good for what it is as an image exchange mechanism (especially when free!). There is certainly a huge amount of crap on there, but I don't look for it so I hardly see any - you can choose what you see to a large extent. And there are gifted photographers from all around the world that you can track down and pay attention to (or not!).Yeah, (Flickr)'s crappy ... has been dying a slow death ..
I guess it doesn’t do that specific direct link thing. Instagram like Facebook is more to build a following and hopefully direct that following to your website. That’s social media for you.Yes, but instead of the image for sale they find generic home page, even if they bother to go that far, and almost certainly don't find that image in a catalog of 30,000... = Sale lost
