I'd assume it's more than the pictures. From my perspective: I'm a photographer and there are DM photography critique groups I wouldn't want to miss out on. Groups with contributors that have seriously improved my work. Outside the critique groups there are darkroom groups where techniques and tips lost in the digital age are shared -- I shoot analog so I can make darkroom prints (a little non-digital zen after writing code for 8+ hours a day) so re-discovering some of these techniques has been vital to improving my printmaking skills. I'd imagine there are probably yoga technique groups that are similar. Critiques of form and posture, tips when trying to reach that new, difficult pose, scheduling for impromptu classes, etc. Any tight knit Instagram group of posters has some longer form discussion on the DM end of things in my experience. All people you want to speak with, but wouldn't do so over text message for whatever reason. I've tried multiple times to lift and shift groups to Slack, Discord, Discourse, etc. Never works. Instagram has a tight hold.
