What's the alternative closest to the completeness of Instander at the moment? I have been using the last version of Instander still supporting v7a which is v16.0 for many years now and as it seems there is a chance it will finally stop working soon.
Personally, I use NativeAlpha (PWA wrapper) and tweak the permissions until it just barely works for my needs.
My favorite tip is to set the PWA default address to instagram.com/?variant=following -- which is JUST the accounts you follow with no recommended content / doom scrolling fuel.
