Are Reddit and Instagram different?

Reddit and Instagram are both social media services but with entirely different usages. Reddit is mainly for talking about daily news, rating various content on the web and TVs, and discussing different things. Also, on Reddit, you can upload links, text posts, images, and videos, which are then voted up or down by other members. On the other hand, on Instagram, you can upload videos and photos with different filters organized by hashtags and geographical tagging. And people can like or comment on your content.
