Instagram is fantastic because when you like a post, it will automatically give you posts on your feed that are related to the posts that you recently likes.
According to Lexie Carbone of the Later blog, “The more they think you’ll ‘like' that post, the higher it appears in your feed. This is based on ‘past behaviour on similar content and potentially machine vision analysing the actual content of the post.'”
