Instagram Woes

[NessIllustration]

@Coreyartus You're right, smaller hashtags work better! Not only you have a better chance of showing your illustration the the right person who is interested, but the bigger hashtags (a few million posts) are used so often that you get buried in seconds. It's like screaming into a crowd of millions: exhausting and rarely efficient! Speaking to a smaller room is easier and you actually have more chance to be heard

Hmmm. Weird. Hopefully deleting the apps and reloading will fix the issue. Good luck.

@MichaelaH that is the most goshdarn useful Instagram tip I have seen in ages. Thank you!

[burvantill]

@MichaelaH I tried on my mac and was almost disappointed. For those on a Mac, Command+Option+J will take you to the source page where you can click on a mobile view. SO AWESOME!!!! Thank you Michaela!!!
EDIT: LOL I spoke too soon. I can see what is supposed to be a mobile view but there are no buttons to post images. Bummer.

@burvantill I was not originally getting the post button, looks like you may need to command +R to refresh the page and the post option will load

[burvantill]

@StudioLooong SWEET!! Thank you. That worked.

@burvantill Just beware that the hashtags might not work in the browser. I usually add the tags from my phone in a comment. For some reason they don't seem to work right when not on mobile.

[MichaelaH]

@StudioLooong Yeah on windows You need F5 ro refresh the site and than you see this plus for making a new post
@burvantill I am glad it works for You, as Jerry said, the hashtags arn't alaways working, but You can add them later. Yeah refresh is F5 on Windows...

@burvantill After you switch to the mobile view you need to refresh the page and then the button with which you can post images appears

[burvantill]

@Moana-Maureen Thanx! I figured it all out in 2019 when this thread was started. But I appreciate the effort of trying to help.
