1. Follow accounts with/out account. Assume I have a list of account URLs in bookmark folder How to convert it to RSS and have bookmarks and RSS in Sync.

  2. Accounts can change username, need to use the API to convert usernames to some id and back to usernames.

  3. Suggest similar accounts.

  4. Discover page.

    I am not an expert and I think this falls at the first hurdle because a login is required to view more than the latest post or two.

    Here is how I use it: you take an old device that you never installed Insta on, run it under a burner account at the OS level, run a kill switch VPN on it (preferably always on the same server), and then create an account on Insta that you’re ready to ditch the moment they want your ID. That device doesn’t do anything else than Insta.

    You could try an alternative front-end for Instagram. I haven’t used them since I avoid the platform altogether, but I found this thread on the topic.

    https://rss-bridge.org/ does a somewhat acceptable job at it if you look from the perspective of someone who used the app before, or an outstanding job if you come from the perspective of someone who never had an account and clicked links to instagram only to see giant popups and errors.

    I’ve been using Picuki to occasionally view a friend’s post without using Instagram.

    What you want would not be possible for Instagram. The best thing to do would be to not use Instagram but if that’s not an option, the most that you can do is use Nora (FOSS) for Instagram and other social media.
