I recently found this reddit and I thought I'd ask if anyone else has scratched the itch to archive and locally host social media? I'm a heavy user of the Save feature on Instagram and I find it really doesn't do the trick. I have like a dozen or more categories for various countries (especially the Caribbean) or different meme genres (people dancing, people getting hurt, people gagging). Sometimes I find myself wanting to find an old meme or funny video and I can never find it.
I've tried to use instaloader but Instagram definitely does not like it. Saving individual posts isn't that big a deal, I don't need to have absolutely everything.
On the self-hosting side I think some of the image hosting options like immich kinda sorta work. I would definitely have to develop a good tag system.
Has anyone already solved this problem?
