Alternative open source frontend for Instagram? (lemm.ee)

I have tried proxigram and it's not working and isn't getting updates. I would like the frontend to be able to read comments but that's not my priority.

I prefer to use alternatives instead of front ends for Instacrap, eg. Pixelfed (OpenSource, federated and decentralized)

Well that doesn't solve their problem at all

that's ok if you want to publish content. but frontends are for a different purpose: you were never able to use them for that, they are for viewing instagram content

I know what is a front-end, but not really needed if you want to use it only to see the content to stay private. Posting on any Zuckebot crap no front-end will protect you. Use a VPN and a good ad/tracking blocker, eg. uBO, so you don't need a third party app to visit pages of Big Brother companies, which also can log your data and add more fingerprint data as before.

Have you tried going to Instagram with a VPN on? You can't see shit unless you log in, and I don't want to make an account.

I'd rather lick my elbow before creating an account on this shit, but sometimes you come across links to certain posts on this site that require you to view them.
