What’s the alternative closest to the completeness of Instander at the moment? I have been using the last version of Instander still supporting v7a which is v16.0 for many years now and as it seems there is a chance it will finally stop working soon.

As non insta user who’s being forced to dip my toes in for the purpose of community organizing: what are these and how do I use them?
Insta really is the worst platform to interact with when you don’t have an account. Sometimes food places or music artists have insta only and rarely do I find what I need in these cases.
There are also nitter-like services for Instagram. I have a forwarder extension in my web browser set to redirect IG links to https://imginn.com/. I can’t say how advanced it is because my use case is opening memes from a single person.
shitflare >:(
You could try https://kittygram.irelephant.net/
I had no luck using it…Well, maybe it’s good I remain off Instashit
Oh that’s not a good sign. Try https://kittygr.am/ instead
Could you try a non private/age-gated account?
Is this a thing? O have no idea…it’s been years since I don’t use instg …I just searched my friend
I work the other way. If I need or want it, but it’s on <insert (physically, mentally, financially, environmentally, or privacy-wise) harmful corporation here>, I don’t need or want it. There’s always an alternative elsewhere.
Just out of curiosity: what should PixelFed have for you to change 100% from Instagram?
Users.
You can contribute to that.
Yeah weirdly enough even though i post more to Pix than to Insta, millions of users haven’t switched. 🤷♂️
I’d contribute to the thirst traps to get everyone to come over but I don’t think anyone wants to see a hairy overweight dude get nearly naked.

My favourite Band for example. They only use Instagram and Facebook. It’s infuriating. I just log in via browser every few months.
The thing is that you don’t need to close you FB/Insta/X/whatever account to open one in any Fediverse service, but they don’t get that.

I’ve been using an app called Nora from F-Droid for a few months now. The UI is horrible, but it works.
The UI is horrible, but it works.
I thought that was a requirement for F-Droid apps /s
There are plenty of awesome apps with amazing UI in F-Droid, and the opposite is also true. What does that remind me of? Oh, yeah, the play store.
Personally, I use NativeAlpha (PWA wrapper) and tweak the permissions until it just barely works for my needs.
My favorite tip is to set the PWA default address to
instagram.com/?variant=following– which is JUST the accounts you follow with no recommended content / doom scrolling fuel.I use either MyInsta and InstaPrime. Mostly been using the latter more though.
InstaPrime looks promising. Imma try it for a month and see how it copes. Thanks for the keyword 👍

Don’t you need to be rooted for those patches?
