Bibliogram

An alternative front-end for Instagram.

Bibliogram works without client-side JavaScript, has no ads or tracking, and doesn't urge you to sign up.

See also: Invidious, a front-end for YouTube.

Instances

The official instance is on https://bibliogram.art.

You can see a list of instances run by the community on the wiki page.

If you only use one computer, you can install Bibliogram on that computer and then access the instance through localhost.

Installing

You need node.js to run Bibliogram. Versions before 12.13.0 are untested.

  1. $ git clone https://github.com/cloudrac3r/bibliogram If you are using a fork, be sure to actually install that fork instead!
  2. $ npm install --no-optional (for Tor support, omit --no-optional)
  3. Edit /config.js to suit your server environment
  4. $ npm start

Bibliogram is now running on 0.0.0.0:10407.

  • /u/{username} - load a user's profile and timeline
  • /u/{username}/rss.xml - get the RSS feed for a user
