I admit, I don't have too much experience with Instagram, but it is something I decided to set up because I prefer my eggs to NOT all be in the same basket. I'm as fond of bundling services as the next person, but I do want to see what makes each platform different from the next.
Like everything else, setting up the Parlor on Instagram took a lot longer than anything like that should, I think. Everything to do with social media usually does take a long time and is often so tedious that it's frustrating. Hopefully, it will be worth the effort.
There is not really much content on in at the moment, but I am looking around at what I'd like to share on the Parlor on Instagram. Redundancy is no fun. To illustrate what I mean, I'll use Immortal Universe as an example.
