Cool! Keeping up with platform changes is a challenge for projects like this. I think to be successful beyond initial popularity you need an active community that can do this together. It’s draining for just one person - especially once you get big enough that they might actively break things just to mess with your integration. Following maintenance of alternative YouTube clients as well as searx-ng is illustrative.
Not to discourage but be prepared. Best of luck!

I’ve already read that article, the situation on Instagram has changed a bit, which makes scraping easier.
Ratelimits are still a problem if you don’t have a residential IP, but I have a workaround for that (which I’m hesitant to share publicly).
Awesome! Got it running and seems to work well. Also I love the
CLAUDE.mdfile you got there in the repo 🐈I’m happy someone noticed it
Read it now. It made my day a bit better :)
Awesome work!
It would be cool if this was ActivityPub compatible so we could follow Instagram from Mastodon. As much as I hate meta, there are some artists I would like to follow still
Or even if it could provide RSS feeds of accounts, for following in a RSS reader.
Though excellent work!
Atom (which is supported by basically every rss reader) is now supported, but disabled by default. If you self host you could get it working.
Why? Fuck Instagram.
I made this because I hate Instagram, but there’s still lots of valid reasons to use it.
No. There is no valid reason to use it. All this does is continue to enable a massive AI data center and Zuckerbergs billions. Walking away is the only viable option. It needs to go away, stop helping it remain.
Edit: Why would any one argue with this? Unless you are a billionaire, use of this shit is hurting you. Your environment, AI slop, your politics for fucks sake. Continued use is making your life worse for the sake of a handful of people enriching themselves from it, and you don’t care?
I was able to delete my Twitter account because of nitter, because I could view posts without logging in.
It would be great if people could stop using Meta services and software.
It would be great if people stop using social media in general.
Lemmy is social media
What is the social part? I change my name daily, and dont really give a shit about people following me.
Its social because you’re interacting with other people
…supposedly
