I heard that it can be blocked using ublock origin and then I can scroll infinitely without needing to login ? Can someone confirm and share the steps.

Edit: People trying to find a solution. Unfortunately it can't be done. You have to login using an email.

I don't think they're trolling. They didn't fully check if it was working.

Here, try adding this into your "my filters" list, and see if it works:

Nana it's working, I tried scrolling to the bottom and clicking on pictures etc. But I can't read comments and see more of the description

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not sure why I'm so invested in this because I never even visit Instagram lol

I've triple-checked now that all my annoyance lists are updated, and I still get the popover unless I enable the custom filter I just created. Weird.

Also, I noticed you said you're using a VPN. I had to disable my VPN, or the page wouldn't load at all.

Glitch in the Matrix.

Same haha, I barely use it as well.

I have no issue, no matter which VPN sever I use. But I normally have these blocks as well yeah.

Add both the links ? And what's with the date in the first link ?

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, just copy/paste the text, sorry. Lemmy auto-generated the hotlinks.

The date is today's date because that's the date I created the filter. I think you can put whatever text you want in that line to help you remember what the filter is for.
