Comment on If you had too, how would go about running a Instagram account?

If you’re in an urban kinda area, have you considered going to car meets and exchanging Instagram @s ?
Might be helpful to get your insta out there by going where the people already are.
Most if not all my local car meets all advertise their next meet up spot on insta either plainly or by code name. I didn’t even post car pics, but organizers here (hawaii :) will follow anyone back, especially if they post car stuff.

This is exactly the plan. I go to a lot of meets, underground and public eye, so the plan is just to exchange at these events/meets. Currently there is just knowledge of people based on common of appearance and 1 person I have exchanged numbers with, but I have multiple people asking every meet for a IG or that alike asking to see what I shoot, and this is the sole reason of asking the question. I’d love to satisfy these people, be able to give them a page, a “portfolio” they are familiar with, but also somehow still keep my privacy with the systems I use

Ohhh, I read your concern as how to grow in popularity, but… I can’t read @.@
I think Litchralee pretty much detailed what I’d do. Use a separate phone, or ig in a browser. My bf had a yolo tablet once, to show his niece how easily “popular” he can get just by posting random cat memes. We learned that if you follow too many accounts at once or get too many follows quickly, they’ll block your account until you do a facial scan, so… That was the end of that experiment, lmao.
If you find the people you meet are using bluesky, I can… with hesitancy… recommend wafrn? I only hesitate because the design intent is like tumblr, and I’m not sure if that’s your vibe. It’s activitypub and atproto compatible, so you can share your one account with both bluesky and fediverse users. You can even spin up your own wafrn instance.
For situational awareness, the alt-text requirement for photos is on by default, but you can turn that off in your wafrn account.
