Kittygram is an Instagram frontend, like nitter and invideous.

A lot has changed since I first posted about it. Kittygram now has:

  • a developer API

Just fyi, I tried one your instance. Searched a user, clicked a result, and got an error.

Error

./app.lua:134: attempt to concatenate field 'username' (a nil value)

Huh. That was working yesterday. I'll take a look soon

I just tried a random user and it worked, that was probably temporary. That issue has popped up before.

[–] KRAW@linux.community 4 points 3 weeks ago

I tried the same user, and it worked for me just now. Thanks for working on this project!

Same issue here. Tried several users and for every one of them I got the same error. Example URL: https://kittygram.irelephant.net/gudim_public

Well... That link is working for me, so I'd say it's a problem on your end

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago

Judging from the stack trace, its definitely a problem that occurred on the server

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's weird, because it works for me. Maybe it happens when a user is loaded for the first time?

[–] etewar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Hmm. It does work for me now. I also checked some other users that I doubt were ever opened and they also worked just fine

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago

I did some poking, and it's due to ratelimits. I'm working on a fix now
