Alternative open source frontend for Instagram?
Alternative open source frontend for Instagram?
I have tried proxigram and it's not working and isn't getting updates. I would like the frontend to be able to read comments but that's not my priority.
You're viewing a single thread.
All I can say is that there were multiple good ones but Instagram crippled them, devs have repeatedly expressed their frustration and gave up practically. So no there is no frontend for Instagram that’s works anymore. Thanks meta!
What works best for me is the web version on desktop with an ad blocker. Runs relatively smoothly, no annoying ads.
The web version works without an account? That'd be news to me.
It works as long as you’re on an IP address that Meta approves. If you’re using a VPN (or even PiHole iirc) it doesn’t work.
So I have to use their malware on my phone when someone sends me a DM on there.
Yea tbf they released the web version as they crippled the third party stuff, so it’s a compromise I guess. And they could’ve also stayed app only and we would’ve been fucked completely
