Very true! I'm still on FB, but I do like how Instagram doesn't force you to show your current online status, or how it doesn't rat out your likes or comments...

Instagram does rat out your likes, comments and follows. Check the "Following" tab on the notifications view to see them for those you're following.

It's just down to chance whether the people following you see it, based on how many they're following and how much recent activity there has been with their followings.

Oh, bah. Can't believe I never came across that.

Guess I'm a very basic user...

Thanks.
