publication Instagram
The English phrase "instagram post" is translated into French as publication Instagram.
This phrase refers to a piece of content, such as a photo or video, shared on the Instagram social media platform. When you want to express the action of "posting" something, you should use the verb publier sur Instagram rather than attempting a direct translation of the English verb to post.

Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?
