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.

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 :)
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 😭🙃
Hopefully somebody find the utility worth the hassle at some point. I’m 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.
