just wondering how many people still post on Flickr . What is the most popular photo sharing site now and not just a fade.

Flickr has been around for 15 years, like 'forever' in technology terms. Of the 30-million sites tracked by Alexa, it ranks 392 in terms of traffic. It's pretty popular and well beyond the fad phase.

just wondering because I still post on it

captivecookie Loc: Washington state

Have some pictures there, but my favourite groups stopped having discussions, so I allowed my time to be silent elsewhere. Like here!

Consider possibly using SmugMug. Owned by same people as Flickr but quite different.

I had trouble with Flickr losing my photos and my account - on and off. I switched to Google Photos.

Smug Mug is the best. I Have had it for 16 years now.

I rarely post to Flickr anymore. I've never had a bad experience with it. But over a period of a couple years when I didn't use Flickr, it changed enough that I need to relearn it. I've lost track of most of the very friendly people whose photos I commented on and who commented on mine.

I share #1 on my own blog, #2 on Facebook, and #3 on Instagram.

Although it may not be as glitzy as some of the more popular sites (I too have SmugMug), https://pbase.com/ has a great structure and is used by many professionals. I have a pretty large presence there, with many sub-galleries. My particular subscription is https://pbase.com/wjshaheen . Below are my stats:


Usage: 1,862/3,000 MB

I post on Flickr and on Facebook /private photography groups and occasionally on my own FB page. Some really talented people on both sites. On FB most share their image locations and some share their camera settings which can be very helpful. For the most part the groups that I participate in are primarily photo sharing groups, not discussion groups and there is a very low tolerance for bad behavior.

I too use FB occasionally. Thank you.

I've been posting to flickr since about '07. Not too much for group discussions, just a place to put the pix to be seen, and to show to friends.

I've been a Flickr subscriber ever since Yahoo! purchased it. I originally had photos on Webshots and Yahoo! Photos, but when Y Photos closed down I moved all those photos to Flickr (they had an ap that made it easy, and took the descriptions, too). When Webshots changed to Smile! and made it harder for folks to view my photos, I moved all of those to Flickr, too. I now have 44,111 photos on Flickr, and take good advantage of their hierarchical storage structure. There have been 1,914,132 views of my photos, which are distributed into more than 1000 Albums in 46 highest-level Collections (some are 3-4 levels deep).

SmugMug did buy Flickr recently, and they are still in the midst of their changeover to their hardware. Several features are not yet working--the most important to me being that the photo mosaics for Collections are not being displayed yet. I have experienced a few short periods of access problems, but I've had those with most web-based applications so I don't give it much thought. I am very fond of Flickr--it meets my needs very well and I consider the $50/year a reasonable price for the service.

If you're curious about how I use Flickr, here is my home page:

They fixed and restored the Camera Roll on Flickr last week, without any announcement or fanfare. This was the big feature of Flickr I've been missing since major site maintenance they started in May 2019. I haven't run into anything else important to me that is still not operational now in mid Sept 2019.
