Searching for replacement for Bibliogram, I found an website called imgsed.com .
It was sufficient to my needs.
One problem was that it seemed to fetch only a few comments of a post.
Here’s the website’s own About page:
imgsed.com is an online instagram backup tool that helps users save instagram photos through the instagram public API.
imgsed.com can’t verify user information, so you need to pay attention to the copyright when downloading photos.
If you do not wish to be downloaded, please submit your information remove account
ETA:
Apparently it has crazy much ads, so use of adblocker is very much advised!
Thanks, reminded me that I hadn’t deleted my Instagram account yet.
thx, didn’t know this one :)
There is this one too > https://www.picuki.com/ works great too.
Replace the native ad-riddled platform with another?
Use Proxigram It’s Open Source
I tried it before finding imgsed but each instance had issues loading images past the first page of a user’s profile. But I will check back occasionally
It doesn’t seem to have a cache. That might be a useful feature
Beeper can apparently view Instagram, although I haven’t used that feature myself.
Thanks for mentioning beeper. It’s an app I’ve been looking for.
I was wondering how bulletproof Beeper is. Different encryption standards are a big problem, and hopefully the Digital Markets Act can help in that regard.
I’ve just read up on it on their own page, and at least they are fully transparent and open about this issue, which I can respect. I think there should be a big disclaimer pointing to this issue right on the landing page, because many people probably think the app can do more than is actually possible in terms of encryption.
Though if everyone used the same standard and was forced to interoperate, Beeper wouldn’t need to exist anymore, so there’s that.
So no real point in using it either way. Well, unless you don’t care about proper e2ee. But I care, so if one of my contacts uses this app, then I’m gonna be weary of what we talk about.
How exactly? Beeper is a matrix chat with bridges to multiple mesaaging apps, I don’t see any functionality beyond messaging.
apparently
I haven’t used that feature myself
