Some points:
Instagram is part of the Facebook group and wholly owned by them.
Tread carefully!
Given the intent of the two platforms, what i would probably see as the most logical is as previously mentioned, a posting ar "ad" for the TPF.
Other than that, unless as John pointed out, your into ALOT of phone based photography, (to whit there is an entire section here) it may or may not be advantageous.
Have you used Instagram? Most of the people I follow on Instagram (who are not my friends or family) are professional photographers or serious hobbyists. They are definitely not posting phone photos. Most are shooting with full frame or mirrorless cameras and using LR/PS or the equivalent at a very high level. Some of the best photos I've seen in the past year have been on Instagram - not on Flickr or 500px or Facebook or even here on TPF or other photo forums. There are a lot of very talented photographers using Instagram to share their work. It is also a very supportive photography community if you know how to use it for that purpose. There are meet ups and collaborations, shared ideas and information about events, interesting stories about how a shot was inspired or executed, opportunities to interact with companies that make photo gear, people coordinating their time and efforts for charity work (shutterbugsforcharity)...
