Crosspost because still getting used to lemmy
I have to create one for personal reasons. I know it’s inherently un-private, but how can I maximize privacy while creating & using it without running into problems?
New burner phone no sim, only wifi. Use public wifi, dedicated email made specifically for insta at the same as the ig account
“Hey bruh, you sellin drugs or what? -Nah, just browsing Insta”
Don’t use the app and only log on using a firefox container on desktop, with all the usual privacy extensions. That and the usual - use a new email and maybe a burner number (if they require it). Also take some time to check your account settings (i.e. limit your post audience, etc.)
Do you need to post, follow, or just have one?
Preferably all 3. The whole experience. Notifications not necessary.
“most private way” and “posting on instagram” are somewhat disjoint sets

General rule: if there’s a web client then use that instead of an official app
