Inspired by nitter.
Awesome! Got it running and seems to work well. Also I love the CLAUDE.md file you got there in the repo 🐈
I made a self-hostable frontend for instagram.

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.

Nice. After Bilbogram was discontinued, I believe we all were waiting for an replacement.

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!

I would like to add RSS, I don’t think it’s feasible cadence.moe/…/2022-09-01-discontinuing-bibliogram
A much-requested feature I added early on was RSS feeds. This ended up getting quickly turned off for the main instance, because RSS usage was dwarfing interactive usage. Many of these feeds had been added to people’s readers and forgotten about. Even today I still receive a decent number of forgotten requests for feeds — these forgotten feeds haven’t returned useful data for more than two years. Feed requests aren’t free. Bibliogram needs to make an outgoing web request, wait for it, and convert the response data. This also uses up a piece of Bibliogram’s rate limit to Instagram, even if nobody’s there to see the feed that Bibliogram generates.
I could add it, but have it disabled by default, so anyone hosting a personal instance can enable it.

would be nice if it also saved/archived everything it downloads from instagram and sends it to the internet archive

Pretty sure Bibliogram was inspired by Nitter before it became deprecated. Hope to see this flourish.

Best of luck! Keeping up with platform changes is an 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.

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).
