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?

It's pretty much just poking holes at the installed code, then re-packacking and distributing. Use at your own risk, naturally.

Can you share the link to download the app?
