I’ve been using Instagram as a way to stay up to date with all the local community events or small businesses doing events around me for the past couple of years.

With everything happening at Meta and TikTok, I’ve deleted and uninstalled most social media accounts and apps.

Do y’all have any suggestions for keeping up to date on local events around your neighborhoods without having to use Instagram or Facebook? Do I have to sign up for 30 email newsletters?

    Its not perfect, but you can anonymously browse Instagram using imginn.

    There is also proxygram, which is similar to imginn, but if you don’t want to set up your own instance, you can use others via the Libredirect extension.

      Does this proxygram still work? It seems like it hasn’t been patched for a while, and Instagram’s notorious for blocking these.
