So I'm officially starting work to port bird.makeup to other social networks, starting with Instagram. There is some code already written, and the domain is already bought: kilogram.makeup

It will be very bare bone at first, and there will be a list of supported accounts, but as I make it scale those limits will be removed. I also plan to add features that will specifically help , like federating stories.

On a more technical note: shoutout to github.com/instaloader/instalo that will give me all the data I will need to make this work.

Also currently federation bird.makeup <> Pixelfed is imperfect. Posts and accounts can be found but followed posts don't show up in the timeline. I believe there might something with the activity ( bird.makeup/users/dog_rates/st ) If a pixelfed expert could chime in here it will be very helpful to this project!
