Comment on I made a self-hostable frontend for instagram.

Just don’t get a court order by Meta like the other dude that created a front-end for Instagram. Can’t remember the name since it was before the pandemic. There was a lot of news about it in the FOSS community.

Barinsta was a full client, not just a simple frontend.

  That was the name! And yes, you’re right. It was a full client.

Obviously I’m not a lawyer but I don’t see what law they could use to shut it down. All it’s doing is accessing publicly available data via a proxy. It’s not like it’s exploiting Instagram somehow.

If they wanna stop it, they can do what Twitter did and start requiring an account to see almost anything. Personally I suspect Meta is slowly going towards that.

  Good. Then they have nothing to say about :)
