Searching for replacement for Bibliogram, I found an website called imgsed.com .
It was sufficient to my needs.
One problem was that it seemed to fetch only a few comments of a post.
Here's the website's own About page:
imgsed.com is an online instagram backup tool that helps users save instagram photos through the instagram public API.
imgsed.com can't verify user information, so you need to pay attention to the copyright when downloading photos.
If you do not wish to be downloaded, please submit your information remove account
ETA:
Apparently it has crazy much ads, so use of adblocker is very much advised!
thx, didn’t know this one :)
There is this one too > https://www.picuki.com/ works great too.
Beeper can apparently view Instagram, although I haven't used that feature myself.
How exactly? Beeper is a matrix chat with bridges to multiple mesaaging apps, I don't see any functionality beyond messaging.
lists of other alternative front-end services or projects that i (also) have not vetted:
"A web extension that redirects YouTube, Twitter, Instagram... requests to alternative privacy friendly frontends and backends." https://libredirect.github.io/ - the list they use. https://github.com/libredirect/libredirect - extension (source)
list of some instances https://farside.link/ - (source)
a list of projects, with some other stuff on it too https://www.funkyspacemonkey.com/foss-front-ends-and-alternatives-for-twitter-instagram-reddit-youtube-and-more
I tried it before finding imgsed but each instance had issues loading images past the first page of a user's profile. But I will check back occasionally
