Is there a way to remove the "Suggested posts" section from the home page? #42

I want to look at the stories of the people I follow, so I dont use the "Redirect For You" feed to "Following" feed. On the homepage main feed, once I am caught up with all the posts from the people I follow, I see the suggested posts. Is there a way to remove this?? Thanks image

It's a good point. I had troubles removing 'suggested' posts form the feed and that's why I went for the 'redirect to following' approach. However this appears as a block, so it should be easier to hide.

I'll try to include it in the next update. Thanks a lot for taking the time to raise this!

Thanks a lot! :) I think you would need to remove/hide everything below the block

Can you please try to remove these kinds of annoying suggested posts too?

maybe something like const posts = document.querySelectorAll("div"); const interactionPosts = Array.from(posts).filter(post => post.textContent.includes("Because you interacted with a post from")); or const interactionPosts = Array.from(posts).filter(post => post.textContent.includes("Suggested for you"));

I am not good at js. Do you think it would be possible?

Thanks

Hi Aseem, I will take a look when I have time. However I just re-read your first message, you should be able to watch stories with the 'Redirect' option enabled. But I see this is happening to more people, could you try uninstalling and installing the extension and trying again? Can you describe what happens so I can try reproduce the error? I think it's better to fix that issue than finding workarounds!

Hi! where can I watch the stories, with the 'redirect' option enabled?? I tried uninstalling and installing the extension again. I am not able the stories after the 'redirect' option enabled... image

OKay, thanks for the screenshot! It seems like Instagram shows different views depending on the user. Probably they are doing some A/B testing and we are on different verions. This will make it harder to fix from my side, but I'll try to find someone that has the same view as you.

However, I update this extension every few months, when I have time. So unfortunately you will need to wait for that
