Help me find this thing I saw on social media about division of labor

On Insta, I saw a post that maybe originated there or TikTok or elsewhere: it was an example of the way household chores are handled, and started on a tight circle and then zoomed out as a man explained it. I want to find it again and failed to save it; details inside. [more inside]

Account instantly deleted by Instagram - no way to appeal?

I am uncomfortable with the idea of social media and am not a regular user. Nevertheless, today I tried to create an Instagram account for a photography project, which was deleted immediately for violating their terms with no possibility of appeal. Why would this be and how can I avoid such a fate for subsequent accounts I try to create? [more inside]

Who on Instagram is using text in interesting ways?

I'm interested in finding Instagram accounts that are primarily focused on artistic /appealing text-based posts, or posts with text content as well as some form of image. The ones I'd be most interested in seeing would have harmony between text and image, good typography, basically a way of delivering a text-based message in a pleasing, easy-to-read way. [more inside]

Seeking Instagram recommendations for life in rural Korea or Japan

I'm looking for Instagram* accounts that feature glimpses of life in either rural South Korea or Japan. Relevant hashtags would be helpful as well. *Instagram is preferred but Twitter would be ok as well, but really looking for visuals.

Best social media manager 2020 edition

I'm looking for social media schedulers that will allow me to schedule tweets and Instagram posts WITH TAGGING. Free is great but would pay for the right app. Bonus points for something where authentication for Instagram actually works. Buffer, TweetDeck , and Hootsuite don’t seem to have tagging available in the free versions, and I cannot get Hootsuite to authenticate Instagram and actually post. What say you?

Managing Instagram Followers

I would like to manage my Instagram followers; unfollow some accounts who are not following me, who appear to be bots, etc. There are apps on the market that will do this, but I am wary of giving them my account access, which presumably they need to run their analytics. Are there any apps out there (paid is fine) that are trustworthy? It appears a number of the top ones inflate “you are being blocked” numbers, which may indicate other unethical behaviors.

ISO social media tracking tool for a given subset of accounts

I'm trying to find out whether a tool/software exists to track social media posts with a given hashtag - but not all social media posts, just ones from a particular group of users I will specify. In other words, I want to be able to track, say, #teapotlove but ONLY the posts from members of the Teapot Leadership Alliance (and I need to be able to tell the tool who the members are). It can cost money, possibly even significant money. [more inside]

Please help me 'gram responsibly.

In part of a rather paranoid, depressive episode a while back, I deactivated my personal/professional Instagram. Surprisingly, it turned out to be beneficial. Now, I would like to re-enter Instagram and social media, but this time more responsibly. Anyone have any tips or words of advice? I'm concerned mainly about being mental health-conscious, privacy-minded, and the feasibility of this endeavor. [more inside]

How to get IGTV videos not be blurry on instagram

Hi, I posted a video on instagram, instagram stories, and now IGTV and they come out slightly blurry. Before I post they are not blurry, so I don't know how to fix this. I take the video from an I-phone 8 plus. The phone setting is 4k at 30 fps. All I do is take the video and then download the video onto instagram from my photo library. [more inside]

Help me get my son's Instagram under control

Last summer, we let my 13-year-old son get an instagram account. A couple of weeks ago, my wife discovered that he was following more than 5000 accounts. He says he didn't follow the vast majority of them, and given the number of Russian cosmetic dentistry spam accounts, we believe him. We just can't seem to unfollow enough accounts to get the account under control. [more inside]

Is there a way to transfer Instagram posts to a different account?

I am starting to get seriously into skincare and am posting about it a lot on Instagram. I'd like to start a separate Instagram account just for that, and keep my main one for pictures of my kids and such. Is there a way I can transfer the posts from my current account to a new one, preferably all at the same time?

Let me mess with your face for free

How do I find people who would be into letting me photoshop their selfies and then post the results to my Instagram account? People who might be willing to take custom selfies (of their face -- no nudity or anything suggestive)? Or even, my highest dream, a band that would let me make them some free cover art?

Where should I be posting my photos?

I like to take and share photos of landscapes, and I like wide, panoramic aspect ratios. I enjoy Instagram as a platform for sharing photos, but it is hot garbage at panoramas. Also, I'd like to have somewhere with a little sharper focus on photography as an art form, where I can be exposed to and learn from the works of people who are more skilled and experienced than me. Where? [more inside]

Hacked Instagram account; can my friend get justice?

A fellow aspiring entrepreneur and friend of mine is in desperate need of help. Time is of the essence! Here's the story: Two years ago he created his own business that sells custom hand-made clothes and products. He owns a website and is on all of the normal social media. One of his most effective tools to connect with customers is through instagram. He's worked hard over the years to develop a fan base of over 27K followers. Mysteriously, last night this account was hacked. They changed the password, hacked the business email, and have taken control of the brand. This account is the business' main source of revenue and advertisement. Although he's trademarked the company and taken all the normal preventative measures, the admin. at instagram claims there's nothing they can do to help. Assuming this is true, what are his available options? Essentially, my friend's ship just got hijacked by some evil bastards and he's going to need a seal team to get it back. [more inside]
