A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

As an amateur photographer I used instagram to share my photos and connect with other photographers trough hashtags it was an effective way to share my work with others, noticed that hashtags are not working anymore, I used to use different hashtags to get likes or views and get in touch with other photographers and also people that are not into photography but like and share my stuff, can’t see the purpose of instagram if I can’t do this anymore is seems that Meta is slowly killing instagram, is there any place to share photos and and build a network of people who appreciate photography besides instagram?

The reports of Instagram's death are greatly exaggerated.

(Also hashtags are working as normal for me)

Instagram isn’t dying, it’s just not as hyped as it used to be.

It's not so much the hashtags themselves, but with the removal of "Recent posts" in favor of "Recent top posts", they might as well be dead.

OP, I've gone back to Flickr. I'm not generating enough leads from there to justify Pro yet, but we'll see.
