@instander @squid @privacy is #instander really reliable? So far i can see, it is not open source, so I have doubts about data privacy and presence of trackers.

Don’t use barinsta or bibliogram, they’re dead projects as of now.
We have proxygram these days https://codeberg.org/ThePenguinDev/Proxigram/wiki/Instances
Thank you, have been using insta webapp but even with adblock I get shown suggested and sponsored so you may have fixed my main gripe, thanks

An alternative could be pixelfed, I’m not sure if there are many third party FOSS front ends to Instagram.
