I and many of my non-local friends and family keep in touch with one another with Instagram, moreso than facebook, for sure.
When traveling, my wife and I maintain a "post-only" and "reply-only" rule, where we can post updates publicly and reply to comments on those posts, but no general browsing of social media. Besides whatsapp and SMS for communicating with whomever is traveling with us, Instagram ends up being our main source of sharing and communication with people at our destination.
For instance, when in London last year, I posted a few photos as we were bouncing around town and ended up meeting with a couple friends who I hadn't realized moved there recently.
Also, anything I'm working on creatively (lately, sourdough) ends up on my feed.
