@ilovemycat Insta does work, Its just inefficient. Do you want the unreliable guide?

@ilovemycat Firstly, I'm very sympathetic to your situation, and it's one of the reasons why having a web browser is important for Internet-enabled devices. The EFF is an example of one organization that discusses and frequently defends digital rights / online censorship: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/12/kids-online-safety-shouldnt-require-massive-online-censorship-and-surveillance
When I was growing up, it was a very frequent occurrence where the only device I was allowed to use was a DS or Wii, which had their own similar limited Internet browsers. So I do understand the struggle, and it's really annoying that as time goes on, more websites will stop working well.
As @LunaNova mentioned https://old.reddit.com is one of your best bets, if you click on a user's profile, there's a tiny "Send a private message" button on the right-hand side:
Although I would also be interested in hearing the guide to get Instagram working, even if it's unreliable!
I'm going to look at which of these services (FB, Instagram, Twitter, Discord) might be easiest to get a workaround in the DNS browser. For example, something like a browsedns<->discord connection, where you use the bdns chat to send messages on discord would be great. Or maybe somehow convincing Twitter to render the page anyway.
