Was talking about pulling the content out of insta to post on a mirror account on nostr from which to continue posting on nostr directly :)
Are you talking an automatic bridge that just pulls the posted content from Instagram to nostr or just a Instagram styled client? If you're looking for a client check out nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq37amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dwfjkccte9ejx2un9ddex7umn9ekk2tcqyqlhwrt96wnkf2w9edgr4cfruchvwkv26q6asdhz4qg08pm6w3djg3c8m4j https://zappix.app/. You can also use Waves from nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7ct8vaezumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejz7qpqwf4pufsucer5va8g9p0rj5dnhvfeh6d8w0g6eayaep5dhps6rsgshcqyxr or Amethyst on nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejz7qpq0r8xl2njyepcw2zwv3a6dyufj4e4ajx86hz6v4ehu4gnpupxxp7s85uvay Android to view/post media content.

Just to make it leas painful for normies to migrate to nostr withou having to feel they have to leave the work of years behind
Yeah that'd be a great tool to have. I'm not familiar with FB's API offerings but after a quick search it looks like you might be able to build a bridge for Business/Creator accounts for continuous use but seems FB locks down a lot of the normie user data. I think you'd have to make the user do a data backup then import that backup zip to a conversion site to generate the posts from old data. Seems feasible though!
Oh how i wish i were a dev šš
Hopefully somebody find the utility worth the hassle at some point. Iām sure it might help people migrate away from insta if they can take their baggage with them :)
Thanks for looking into it anyway :)
No, screw asking for permission. I think it's possible to find media URLs and save them like indown.io does.
Otherwise, look into Apify to use an Instagram scraper.
Are you down to build something like this?
I have to admit it wasnt front of mind for me but I can see the value to hopefully bring more creators over. If no one else builds it and I hear many people requesting I'd definitely be down to give it a look though.
