Data
The dataset, sourced from Kaggle, is a compilation of details about Instagram posts, for posts posted between 04/05/2012, 2:36 PM (UTC) and 04/27/2020, 3:34 PM (UTC), by a set of over 1.04 billion Instagram users. The project aims to glean insights about factors that impact engagement of posts on Instagram.
The dataset captures details such as number of comments received for a post, number of likes received for a post, timestamp for each post, number of followers each user has, number of Instagram handles each user follows, gender of each Instagram user, number of total posts each user has posted, and more.

We can see that on an average males do NOT have a greater number of followers.
ig_df.groupby('gender')['num_like'].agg(['mean']).plot.bar(figsize=(13,6))

No males do NOT get a greater number of likes on their posts on an average.
ig_df.groupby('gender')['num_comment'].agg(['mean']).plot.bar(figsize=(13,6))
plt.show()output:
Yes, females get a greater number of comments on an average and this implies that females better at conversations in Instagram interactio.

0.48183843116233394
The correlation between the two features can be considered moderate since its value lies in the middle, but it is not strong. Thus we can safely say that large no. of posts doesn't correspond to large no. of followers.
# scatterplot showing the relation between no. of followers and number of posts
plt.scatter('num_post','num_follower',data=ig_df)
plt.xlabel('# posts')
plt.ylabel('# followers')
plt.show()output:
Instagrammers with a greater number of posts do NOT have more followers.
