Before you start.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

I was adding instagram accounts and it was working nice, but then I started to get this error, and I can't anything else... when the FOLLOWING page is loading, a sign "Cannot read property 'namespaces' of undefined"

Hello - thank you for saying something about this.

Are you able to visit Instagram pages in your browser? If you're logged in, you may not experience this - but Instagram is blocking some requests that aren't logged in. (Fraidycat is not logged in. I will be offering a way to login soon.)

Mmm look, I just woke up and tried if its working, and I was able to add like 20 more pages from instagram, and then again the error started. I am logged in in my instagram account in the browser. Maybe there is a limit in instagram or something like that.

I am experiencing the same problem. I can visit the Instagram page in my web browser while logged in. However, I still get the error when trying to add the page to Fraidycat.

Ok thank you for this good info. I am going to address this for now with #9. Basically, if you're following one or two Instagram accounts, you should be fine without an account. But if you're following many, you'll need to log in.

I'm also seeing this one when I'm logged into Instagram in my browser. Gonna follow this issue, since having instagram as part of this tool would be a huge game changer for me. Thanks for the work you're doing!

Also experiencing this one on Chrome. Only finding it while trying to add instagram sources. Logged in fine and can view the account fine. Funnily enough, this came after successfully adding four or five sources.

Right now Fraidycat doesn't use your Instagram credentials - for security reasons. Though I'd like to fit this in. (See #9.)

I now have a great lead from memo on the Discord! I didn't know about the Bibliogram project, but am now keyed in.
