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.
As non insta user who's being forced to dip my toes in for the purpose of community organizing: what are these and how do I use them?
Just out of curiosity: what should PixelFed have for you to change 100% from Instagram?
I've been using MyInsta. Even it is outdated though as the dev is going through his Masters iirc. Otherwise there's a few more out there but they seem less trustworthy imo.
I've been using an app called Nora from F-Droid for a few months now. The UI is horrible, but it works.
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.
So I was looking into this and istander won't actually be shutdown. Just the version of Instagram that the API pulls from. It's still going to work just fine.
Alternatively if it does shutdown. Theirs https://myinsta.app/
I use either MyInsta and InstaPrime. Mostly been using the latter more though.
