Instagram has been focusing on its creators as of late creating communities for many online.
Instagram’s Creator Lab, an edutainment destination for creators to learn and grow their career that launched in 2022, expanded this year to Creator Lab Live, a series of IRL events in select markets to share education, encourage deeper connections, and reach more diverse communities of aspiring creators.

Panelists ranged from creators on the platform itself and other professionals in the space.
Instagram has continued to amplify the series via socials on their account @creators. Through the educational videos, many can learn through creators who have found success on the platform.
“Being authentically you will make your content flow from you freely, Creator Lab Live panelist Danielle Nekole shares.
Epsiodes from the Creator Lab live on Instagram’s Creators site with categories including express yourself, build community, and grow long-term.
The site also gives the chance to highlight creators through the vibrant online communities.
As of late, Threads, recently launched from Instagram, has added polls and GIFs to give more ways to spark conversation online.

Threads has been working on delivering new product functionality as quickly as possible.
Users can now pose a question with up to four answer choices – the poll will run for 24 hours and users can control who can respond to the poll, the same way many can control who can reply to a post. In addition, users have to vote to see current results – and once users vote, many will be notified when the poll ends to see the final results and join the conversation.
Threads has emphasized that it has been listening to its creator audience and building more features to improve the experience.
