Yes, carousels are the best if you don't want to use reels, although you could also create reels based on images.

Totally, carousels still do the job! You can share a lot more without needing video. Just make sure your slides are eye-catching and add some good captions. Stories are a solid way to keep people engaged too—throw in polls or Q&As to get your followers interacting!

Reels rule now, but carousels and stories still work if they offer real value. Make your posts useful or interactive, and people will engage. Content beats format every time.

Yeah, carousel posts still work great if the design and hooks are strong. Add value in each slide and use stories to stay active - it still helps growth.

Definitely carousel posts. If you add a song to your carousel or image posts, then they will appear in the reel section.

Yes you can post and grow the page that way, however, if you edit the posts and make them into a Reel which highlights the photos, that can get you good reach on the explore page.
