Wish social platforms would open APIs to increase our functionality! 

Until then, I just make time to be in the IG app natively. Listening and engaging with others’ posts is a higher priority than actually posting, so it’s worth the scroll time, and a few of the fun rabbit holes I end up going down! 

IG not a top platform for my company, so I just make sure to have all the notifications turned on to be sure I see comments, tags, and mentions.

You could also save some tabs on your browser for key hashtag feeds?

At one time Hootsuite had a free version which made it easy to follow accounts, #hashtags, etc. I’m thinking there must be a platform that does this?
