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 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.

          And that’s precisely why OP is asking for frontends. So they can view the posts. They aren’t looking to make posts.

      in my opinion its only better with an alternative frontend, if it works well enough. because it cannot add any more datapoints than instagram could, but a good lightweight frontend will add much less, because I won’t need to worry about my mouse movements and page scrolling pace being recorded. uBO and such wont be able to protect against that
