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 must log in or register to comment.
Enshitification made third-party apps disappeared. Prefer true open source project instead like Pixelfed for example.
I saved and older post where this was mentioned: https://imginn.com/ Seems like it’s still working and comments are available
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.
I am more interested a self hosted Instagram solutions. I wish immich supports comments and emoji.
As a dev, I think of the potentially years of work wasted on clients for corporate services who could pull the rug out from under you at any moment. Poof, years of labor in the trash.
I’ll never understand people writing apps / clients for them.
did you try pixelfed? It’s basically a selfhostable, federated instagram
There isn’t a functional open source frontend that I’m aware of, the best you can get is modded like MyInsta or Instaflow (or Revanced if you want open source mods)
I thought the revanced projects were dead/took back by a shady group ?
no they’re chill, but Instagram only has one patch to block story ads so it’s not much good
So what is the preferred way to access those apps now if you don’t mind ?
On Telegram, MyInsta is “instasmash”, Instaflow is “instaflowupdates”
