Help and tips for moving my flickr library to instagram

[Minoton]

Hi, sorry if there is any simalr topic out there, i cant find it.

What title saids, flickr is dying every year, and i make a few moc per years, only i a few events, marchikoma, febrovery, hovertover and some times a few more mocs, and recently  i saw a lot of people are doing that events on instagram ( hoveroctover, in flickr is dead, im the only one who post, but i see in some blogs or fb people do it on instagram)

So asked the holy IA, teh best way to do it, i have around 300 pics of 100 mocs, and like the IA does, every tiem she change the anwser XD, so i need human help, if some one here had done it (i also take for good if people argue to stay only in flickr, i dont know what to do yet, mid life crisis is getting hard for me this months)

So my idea is to upload on instagram all my mocs one per carousel and maybe one carousle per theme ( one for all my crs, for all my rovers, etc),  i dont know the etiquette about how  to do something like that.

But i dont know hoy many of them i can upload per day or programig them to spawn in alternatives days or whatever....or any of the problems i will face. time is not one of them, but if i can do it fast and esasy the better :).

So if someone knows a guide, or  some one dis something similar and want to share the tips and the how to do it, will be nice.

Thanks in advance, also like i said before, if the " flickr is dying" is only my personal view and not the reallity, let me know you tips or anything.

Have a nice day!

I have posted on Flickr everyday or close to it for the last 13 years with over 11,300 photos and counting uploaded. Sure, it's dying in places @Minoton for sure, but it is pretty vibrant in others - same as EB. But to answer your question, it's impossible to transfer it all unless you manually repost everything by hand. Best to leave everything where it is, and just start posting fresh from wherever you are heading instead of deleting everything from Flickr and / or trying to repost it all. (in any case, deleting things from Flickr would create a ton of dead topics here, so don't do that!) However, my personal advice is to stick it out on Flickr (I think Instagram is awful and getting worse!), but that might just be me being stubborn...

Thank you!

 Yeah, my idea was not delete flickr, and keep updating both ( instagram can be more fast easy dopamine XD but every like, favourite or coment on flickr are gold :)) Humm, its interesting you mention instagram is getting worse, not the first time i heard that.

I think flickr is great! I think it is the best moc-sharing site and love to give it a daily visit and watch peoples mocs

Flickr is a better platform for curating your MOCs. Instagram is for likes so post the best shot of your MOC.  You could download the best ones off your flickr and upload them to Insta over a period of time to build up a following.

I am not on Insta but my LUG is.  Our social media coordinator could post my MOCs on Insta if they find them post worthy.
