Most people using FB are looking for "likes" which IMHO are useless. I used to belong to a Photogroup in FB, I opted out since there were nothing to inspire as most were merely showing off their heavy/expensive gears. I am an event photog and I learn mostly from mistakes and constant self-criticism (in all aspects including preparation and post processing).
I had high hopes for this particular group because it started as a local site that was eventually shut down to due lack of funding, there were some pretty incredible photos when it was its own website. They published a calendar and book, but then the sponsor removed funding and the photographers moved to a facebook group. Many members were part of local camera clubs, and while they opened it up to any photographers, a lot of the main photographers that were on the original site have moved on. I dont really venture into a lot of other facebook groups because it just makes a lot of stuff to scroll through on my feed. But I still hang on to it to see what other local photographers are doing and events that are coming up. I do like looking through instagram, I enjoy that but of course that is just a like thing and getting the perfect ratio to be highlighted and getting more likes. you have to weed through a lot. but those are all I use. flickr seems like another like for like site too.
