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 :)
Nice. After Bilbogram was discontinued, I believe we all were waiting for an replacement.
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.
On the one side, you’re absolutely right. On the other hand, people around us are still using it, especially Musicians and Artists. If I want to find out some concert dates or check the mail of a tattoo artist I like, sometimes I have no other option than checking Instagram, despite killing the artist of my list – which I do not want to :-)
I disagree. Billions are being made, data centers and AI machines are being built that use the electricity that could power 50 million homes, and that is Meta ALONE. Your tattoo artist and musicians are perpetuating it. Oh well, they don’t need my business. I don’t support people that do that.
If people keep saying “but I have to”, then fuck it, meta won.
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 :)
looks great! Thank you for making this
Codeberg is down, what’s the URL?
My instance is https://kittygram.irelephant.net/
Cool, thank you. Would be cool if we were able to follow accounts from there…
thats possible apparently: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/23840511
LOL its broken already.
well Instagram is serious about ratelimits
awesome! i hope this stays around.
would be nice if it also saved/archived everything it downloads from instagram and sends it to the internet archive
Doing the lords work, thank you
Pretty sure Bibliogram was inspired by Nitter before it became deprecated. Hope to see this flourish.
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
Check https://kilogram.makeup/
Very cool. Guess I’ll have to use it on the PC rather than using istander.
