I cannot figure out how to move my instances individually. They are placed on each vertex of an icosphere. The path they should move along has that vertex as a starting point (eventually they end on vertices of another icosphere). I thought that a realize instances would work, I later found out that "translate instances" kind of does the trick.

Here's what I came up with (with the help of @Leander).

Though I can't understand why my spheres spread around the original sphere. Then they follow the intended path and that makes me happy.

  • $\begingroup$ just a hint: if you provide your blend file - you will attract more people (and the lazy ones like me, who don't want to recreate your node tree manually). Keep in mind: these people use their spare time to answer your questions for free, so you should make it as easy as can be for them to answer them. $\endgroup$

You need a position node then a vector math subtract node on the link between your sample curve and translate instances nodes (assuming that's what your question is) enter image description here
