Should I be using Steepshot like Instagram?

Hey everyone! As you may have noticed from my feed, I just started using Steepshot! It's a Steem-powered competitor to Instagram, and for those of you who don't know what Instragram is, it's a simple photo sharing social media app owned by Facebook. Overall, I love this app. Of course it's a ragtag group of coders trying to take a big chunk out of Facebook's hide, so I don't expect the same level of professionalism as with Instagram, but it's already a very functional app with a solid user-base built in, thanks to Steemit.

I encourage you to check it out by downloading the app on the Play Store for Android or the App Store for iOS. You can also read their Steemit blog at https://steemit.com/@steepshot and check out their website at https://steepshot.io/

I really like Instagram, and unlike Facebook, it's one that I naturally engage in. I have seen enough patterns of censorship there to know that I've been a victim. I've seen way too many ads there too! So I'm definitely excited that we have an ad-free and censorship free alternative now.

I enjoy the Instagram format and regularly post there, although since I've been focusing on Steemit lately, I've been engaged less on Instagram and mostly just post memes there. (I'm also getting sick of the ads which seem like every third post.) So I have a big question for y'all reading this, which should be obvious from the title of this post. I would like to get back into sharing daily lifestyle photos and I'd like to share my memes with the Steemit community. The only downside to using Steepshot is that there isn't a separate feed for it except in the app, so when I post something there it shows up in my main Steemit blog here. If I were to start posting about four times per day there, would it clog up this feed too much for you? I'm also planning on getting back to regular podcasting soon, so I'm going to have a lot of content. If I don't start using Steepshot, I'll probably do a weekly meme and photo roundup from Instagram and post them here. But I hate using a Facebook owned platform! I'm here to create content that you find valuable and deliver it in a way that's convenient to you, so please comment below and let me know how I can do that better! THANKS!

I checked it in Play-store and It says that Steepshot is still under development and could be unstable at the moment but already downloaded by 10k people.

It seems to work pretty well. My biggest complaint at this time is sometimes my keyboard won't close when I'm trying to get to the post button but that might not be the apps fault.

I am excited to see what kind of updates it gets as those download numbers grow!

Thanks for posting about this app Adam

I've been seeing it pop up on my feed quite abit, and have been curious but not really looked into it. After seeing your post, I think I'll check it out. Glad to see you are doing ok after your stunt in DC several years back. Keep seeking freedom my friend, and #keepstackin

I was scrolling through and accidentally hit down vote so I changed it to an upvote. Sorry bout that.

It wouldn't clog up the feed beside these apps were created for us to use and you can decide to use them however you want afterall, it is your page. So you are the decision maker. I am considering doing same thing as you

Happy to hear this question @adamkokesh because I was thinking the exact same thing after I started using the app yesterday, it looks different and instinctively you think those posts should go somewhere else, but I am gonna go with what @yungchief says because, He's right!

Steepshot has improved a lot, from its early dev to the current interface. I just hope they will increase the limit of the words. Other than it's perfect for me.

For your feed, how about a lifestyle photo contest?😊

Yes. Do it!

If I start posting about four times per day there, will it clog up this feed too much for you?

in my opinion, personally, It will not clog the bait on the side and it is good, you post twice a day to get rid of your saturation in politics. i understand that
I am very bored with facebook full of silly people who post stupid things from waking, eating, and other silly things.very boring no benefit.Yes it is true that people still use facebook even though they have a great platform like steemit because most do not realize or their countries have banned sites like steemit.You know now a days I really don't use facebook because it's a waste of time and at that time I can use the steemit and earn money as well as meet with extraordinary people like you @adamkokesh fear that it will disappear in the air ifthe steemit are increasingly popular
Thanks for this @adamkokesh

I didn't know this was available for iOS. I never even checked. I just got it, and I couldn't be more excited! I quit Facebook a couple weeks ago, but I've stayed on Instagram because my interactions there are almost entirely positive, and I enjoy it. I'll start using Steepshot instead, though, for a bunch of reasons.

think all sites backed by steemit will have a wonderful future thanks to mega projects

As an Instagram lover I have to admit that Steepshot is not the same. It's true that it's improving a lot and it's getting more and more interesting though. But f we all start using this app it will help it to grow and improve.
I think it has a great future ^^

Thanks for your information

I would rather skip over the rare post of yours I'm not interested in rather than all of those ads.

i need to know the use of it then i can decide, this is new to me.

If you're worried about clogging your main steemit feed for your followers, why not make a second account for your steepshot pics. @adamkokesh.steepshot or something. You can always resteem the ones you want to share with your main followers and anyone that want's to follow that account too will have no problem doing so.

we must have Instragram because with there application we can know various social media like life artist and we also can share our life to others, hopefully you can dies Instragram.

Whenever you upload an important moment of your stay will be so exciting news to be seen and known

How much % does it take as benifactor from my post reward? Being a user below minnow I am avoiding using any apps which cut benifactor as I found using them is loss for me. :(

I agree what you say.
let's join us in steepshot.
I really hope you join us. please join here. https://discord.gg/qsDt24

Thank you. Upvoted.

I am using them in tandem. Steepshot community is adfree, but quieter. The notifications are a lack, but.. qualitywise and as a service - it's good. Thanks for putting your debate on in the open.
