Bibliogram is being discontinued, and Barinsta doesn't work anymore too..

Is there some good soul providing an instagram frontend or app? I really need it to see events, but i don't want to get caught in those useless post suggestions and ads, i just wanna see the content i chose to see.

I'm using Instander, which is basically just altered version of the original, but with no ads and other extra features.

I agree it's good but maybe OP wants an open source alternative

Not necessarily, of course open source is better, but i really just want something that gives me power over the content i can see, this is usually what happens in open source, that's why i posted here, but im open to closedsource solutions. I didn't know of the existence of modded stuff like this. How can they mod a closed source app? Are they partner with instagram? How does it work? Do they just scrape content like anyone else? How are they not getting banned like other scraper apps?
