Sorry for the bump, but I just updated the app on iOS and discovered the new "immersive feed". Absolute trash, up there with New Reddit in the realm of bad redesigns. Low information density, shoving "reels" at me when 90% of my follows are painters, focused on advertising, trying to be something it's not.
Hopefully they roll it back, because I rely on Instagram for my art and it's hard to find anywhere else to go: Twitter is too aggressive, most "art" focused social media is for digital art/fanart/concept art, Facebook is pretty dead as far as organic reach goes and only good for groups, TikTok is for videos…
