It would be cool if this was ActivityPub compatible so we could follow Instagram from Mastodon. As much as I hate meta, there are some artists I would like to follow still
Or even if it could provide RSS feeds of accounts, for following in a RSS reader.
Though excellent work!
I would like to add RSS, I don't think it's feasible https://cadence.moe/blog/2022-09-01-discontinuing-bibliogram
A much-requested feature I added early on was RSS feeds. This ended up getting quickly turned off for the main instance, because RSS usage was dwarfing interactive usage. Many of these feeds had been added to people's readers and forgotten about. Even today I still receive a decent number of forgotten requests for feeds — these forgotten feeds haven't returned useful data for more than two years. Feed requests aren't free. Bibliogram needs to make an outgoing web request, wait for it, and convert the response data. This also uses up a piece of Bibliogram's rate limit to Instagram, even if nobody's there to see the feed that Bibliogram generates.
I could add it, but have it disabled by default, so anyone hosting a personal instance can enable it.
Being able to set up personally hosted RSS feeds would be useful. If the feeds are fetched periodically, that could also allow archiving of accounts.

looks great! Thank you for making this
Codeberg is down, what's the URL?
My instance is https://kittygram.irelephant.net/
Cool, thank you. Would be cool if we were able to follow accounts from there...
Awesome work!
Pretty sure Bibliogram was inspired by Nitter before it became deprecated. Hope to see this flourish.
Doing the lords work, thank you
