Instagram API: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/guides/content-publishing/

This only works for business accounts, but they are just as free (apart from data).

Unfortunately, a lot of people hang out on Instagram and the youth climate movement (FFF and offshoots) also organises itself largely through it.

I'm not a fan either. But Pixelfed hasn't really got around yet. Adding that as a second step would also be an idea 🤗

Indirect Facebook support

If Instagram were built in, it could be directly forwarded to a Facebook account in the "metaverse" 🤮 ;)
Again, I'm not a fan, but really a lot of Ü35 people still hang out on Facebook 🙈

Limitations

The prerequisite would be that at least one image is sent along, and for this an error handling mechanism is needed that kicks in when Instagram forwarding is activated.

At https://luetzerathlebt.info/ticker, we actually always have at least one picture per post, and we want to keep it that way.

In general, share-pics are now created for any call for action and photos are taken for every action.

So for the social media use case, it is definitely very desirable to always have a picture.
