@carlianne Hey Carlianne! I thought about PM'ing you but this might be something others might find useful. Did you find any useful way to decide between a post and a story??

I didn't post as much in the 2nd half of 2021 but I'm thinking of making more of an effort this year to be consistent and I felt that I honestly couldn't tell which one was the better vehicle and almost always did just a post. But maybe I was shortchanging visibility.

@jdubz I like stories for work in progress or behind the scenes or polls/voting. Images that aren't clean enough to be on my page go to my story. You can also share posts of other artists you like there.
