Mine is connected to my Facebook page, both personal and business. I can go in and switch it back and forth when I want to. I have a mixture of personal and business related posts. A LOT of knitting pictures. If I choose to share my picture, it goes to Facebook for everyone else to see.
Depending on your preferences, you can make your instagram account private and that anyone who wants to follow you has to send a request.
I follow some independent yarn dyers and they are SO bad for my wallet.

I post photos of projects in process and sometimes a completed project with a hashtag of #scrapbooking or #artjournaling and #mixedmedia. I also like to post photos of pretty things like flowers in my gardens or things we see traveling. I do the travel photos when I return home as I don't like to let people know exactly when I'm out of town.
Sometimes I post photos of something I cook or bake. Those get more likes that the scrapbooking stuff. I'm sure there is a bigger audience for cooking.
For beautiful photos follow paigetaylorevans

Also, I like Instagram better than Facebook because I can Pin from Instagram and the screen is much cleaner.

I'm not interested in celebs but I do follow several stylish mature women for fashion ideas and inspiration. I follow companies like OPI and Essie and a few fashion stores to see their new lines and I follow friends, my DDs, my niece and nephew who are both currently abroad. I post pics that I think people will find interesting - for example I do quite a lot of walking and my friends in different parts of the country and world enjoy seeing the beautiful UK countryside where I walk. I walk to work and see some lovely scenery there too which I share. Other things I post about just general life stuff or funny things I see  |

When you signed up, some of your contacts probably received a notice that you joined with a button to follow you. I follow friends & family, scrapbooking companies, vacation places, home & fashion style accounts, etc. There's no rhyme or reason to it. What do I do on it? I follow fellow crazy cat ladies and awww at kittens  Do you follow Beth Stern? She fosters cats and kittens...so cute!! I follow her. She does amazing things for unwanted cats and kittens. |

I have two accounts. I have a personal account that I put pictures of family stuff that I want to share, then I have a book account. I am a school librarian and I read a lot I like to share those books and other stuff about my library. I do Book challenges and follow lots of other bookstagram accounts. I welcome all followers on this account and i will follow all bookish accounts and thats it. You et a lot of weird people who follow you so you will follow them. I just ignore them. My book account is librarygirlreads if anyone would like to check it out.

I share family-type and daily life pictures on Facebook and use Instagram for images that have more artistic merit - scenery, travel, birds, etc.
I follow some family and friends there, but mostly people whose photography I appreciate. It's a great way to connect with other people who are interested in photography and learn technique, get inspiration, etc. I have connected with quite a few people on there who are really good at bird photography - which is something I continue to try and continue to struggle with LOL - and I have learned a lot. It's definitely making me a better photographer.
I usually post two photos a day so it helps me stay in the habit of getting out there an taking pictures regularly, which I enjoy AND is critical to continuing to get better.

I am terrible with IG -- I follow lots of people who I want to keep up with but I hardly ever post anything. For some reason it isn't as quick and easy to post from my phone as it is on DD's phone. She tries to help me but even she gets frustrated with the extra steps my phone wants to take to post. I am happy to mostly just follow and comment on my friends's IG

I use IG just like I use Flickr, to post all my photos. Photos of pretty much anything and everything. However, I only post my mobile photos on IG (my big girl camera photos get posted on Flickr).

I use it more than my blog now for sharing pics mostly crafty stuff. It's quicker than writing a whole blog post - and I can do it all on my phone really easily. I also follow a bunch of friends and also craft manufacturers, DT members etc.

I post a photo a day of my little girl. It started as a project called #100daysofhappy. Our family is all spread out. They enjoyed seeing her everyday, so I kept going for the year. Then another year and now I'm in my 3rd year (#year3ofhappy). (I think I've missed posting a photo 5 days in all that time.)
I post them to Instagram because I wanted to be able to make the photos into a book. And it was easier to use Instagram as the collection point.

My personal IG is private. I prefer to "know" (some are from here but I still count that as knowing them) the people who follow me on that account because I frequently post pics of my DD. Plus my XH's XW was notorious for following me around on the Internet at one point so it's better that way for me.
My other account is my photography account. I shoot mostly CrossFit/fitness related stuff but also shoot the occasional wedding, etc. That IG is @wodarazzi if anyone wants to follow (shameless plug!) I post every morning, and Mondays I do a Strong Mom Monday post highlighting strong moms.
I'm a very visual person so I like that aspect of IG.

I post many more pictures of daily life on IG than I do on FB. I follow less people I know on IG, than on FB. I follow more artists or celebrities on IG. I also use the hashtags on IG, but never on FB. Ditto all of this! My account is just random daily pictures. I had an account previously I had to shut down because I got MAJOR spammers so bad that my feed was all foreign sales stuff. I was really bummed. So now I make it private and when the spammers try to follow me I can reject their request. It's pretty easy to tell when someone request to follow you if they are a spammer or not. If anyone wants to follow me I am @mrsmarykate. |

I use Instagram to follow my hobbies. I have more than one Instagram account (personal one, Scrapbooking, and planners). I rarely use my personal one because that kind of stuff I put on Facebook. Like someone mentioned earlier, Facebook is for people I actually know. (I figure they don't want to see tons of Scrapbooking stuff). Instagram is where I share my Scrapbooking layouts, find planner inspiration, and look at cute kittens. |

I love Instagram, too. I never post on Facebook anymore. Instagram is Just simpler to a picture when that's all I really want to do. I like to follow "regular people" with their life/every day pics and home decor accounts, fashion accounts, some stores I like, etc. I post mostly pics of my two dogs, dd's dance stuff, and other random things. I'm julielovesjasper if anyone wants to follow. |

I post my book reads, craft things I make and sometimes random crap. I follow weight loss people, crafty people and some home decor folks. Oh and bands along with a few famous people. Be warned in time you will get people selling crap following you and they will blow your feed up with their posts along with tagging you wanting you to buy stuff. It's annoying and I block people when I see they are into the MLM stuff before they can even start harassing me. Really? You have people trying to sell you stuff on IG? I've never seen or heard of that happening. That would be so super annoying! I use IG to just document life, and since I have it attached to my FB and Twitter, I post photos on IG and then it posts to those sites for me. Works like a charm. I had to really think about the question in the OP, because I'd never really thought about it. It's just life... |
