Kittygram is a light, anonymous front end for Instagram, inspired by Nitter.
No fully working public instance on 9 November 2026.
kg.meowing.de worked at 20:22 but returned server errors from 20:33, and kittygr.am and kittygram.nadeko.net also return server errors on profile pages (Instagram appears to be blocking these servers). The table below lists what we tried. Tell us in the forum if you find one that works.
Checked on 9 November 2026 from two different networks, with the user agent of Safari on iOS 15.8 (the newest system for an iPhone 7). Talk about this guide in the Privacy Enjoyers board.
What it replaces
Kittygram replaces the Instagram website for viewing public profiles and posts.
- Public profiles and posts on a plain page.
- No account, no pop-ups asking you to log in.
Instances on 9 November 2026
| Address | Result | Note |
|---|---|---|
| kg.meowing.de | down | Worked at 20:22, HTTP 500 from 20:33. |
| kittygr.am | down | HTTP 500 on profile pages (browser check 20:41). |
| kittygram.nadeko.net | loads | Start page opens; profile pages returned a server error during our last check. |
Results: works = a real content page came back; bot check = a short JavaScript check runs before the site opens; loads = the start page opens, but a content page was not confirmed; moved = the address now forwards somewhere else; down = no answer. Public instances change often, so check the project's own instance list too.
How to use it
- Check the instance list for a working Kittygram instance; none worked on 9 November 2026.
- Put an Instagram user name after the instance domain.
| Normal address | Private address |
|---|---|
https://www.instagram.com/natgeo | https://<instance>/natgeo |
On an iPhone 7 (iOS 15.8, Safari 15.6)
The pages are made on the server, so Safari 15.6 should show them. Not yet tested on a real iPhone 7.
What you keep private, and what you do not
Instagram sees the instance's server instead of you. The instance you choose still sees your IP address and the pages you open, the same as any website does, so pick an operator you trust, or run your own copy. No guide here needs an account or an email address.
Run your own copy
- Source code: https://codeberg.org/irelephant/kittygram.
- Last code change seen on 2026-11-09.
- docker compose up, or podman-compose (from the README).
Known problems
- The README says Instagram limits requests from servers hard, which makes public instances difficult to run.
- Some features, such as stories, are not available yet.
