Getting more from these captions

Let the first picture lead
People decide in a second whether to swipe, so put the strongest photo first and let the caption stay light.
Keep the caption looser than the photos
A dump works because it feels unplanned. A carefully worded paragraph breaks that, while one dry line keeps it.
Plan the week, not the post
A carousel can hold up to 10 items in Dripost. Pick the ten, pick a day, and let the post go out on its own.

Questions

What is a photo dump on Instagram?

A carousel of loosely related photos from a day, a week or a trip, posted with little explanation. The charm is that it looks unplanned, even when it is not.

How long should a photo dump caption be?

Short. A line or two is enough, and the first 125 characters show before “more”, so the line that matters should come first.

Is it fine to use these captions for Facebook or Threads?

Yes. A carousel works on Facebook too, and Threads takes a short line with a few photos.
