I was setting up a RSS reader with a bunch of webcomics but I immediately ran into the problem of some being on Instagram and I would like to have some way to handle that without having to use instagram. After some googling I found a bunch of links to abandoned or broken projects with documentation I did not understand.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I am quite the beginner tough, I have a truenas running on an old computer and a raspberry pi in a desk drawer so that the general competence I am working with.

    But other sites, like Instagram, don’t provide feeds directly. To get those feeds, you’ll need some kind of service that scrapes content from Instagram and creates a feed from that. I’m sure there are selfhosted options for this

      I use rss-bridge for the popular stuff but I’ve found rss-funnel to be nicer for creating my own scrapes (mostly taking rss feeds that link to the website instead of the article and adding a link to the article mentioned on the website (https://github.com/shouya/rss-funnel)
