Does anybody from instagram actually use instagram.com? Because the comments side panel on pictures is probably the buggiest implementation of _anything_ i've ever seen.
What's the point of making a website if it's crippled compared to the mobile app?
> we immediately present users with a cached copy of their previous feed and stories tray, and then replace it with fresh data once it’s available I vehemently HATE this pattern. I'm on a slow connection, and I open the app. Yay, I see some (cached) content. I start reading. After a random amount of time EVERYTHING CHANGES, and I can't get back to it. It's gone, for all intents and purposes, forever. I'd love to have…
Similar to Twitter and other social apps. Agreed that it's a very annoying experience.
It’s like Flash of Unstyled Content, but instead it’s Flash of Useless Content Killed.
Or something with a similarly appropriate acronym.

Can't reveal the exact numbers, but yeah - a lot of people use IG on web :) Mobile web was always the big focus for us though - most people assume its just a desktop only web version, but actually the mobile web version is much more fully featured than the desktop version.

I just tried. Why can't I upload shit from the website? I tried changing my user agent and clicking the new upload button that appeared and it didn't work (possibly because it was a video?) What's the point of making a website if it's crippled compared to the mobile app?
...I presume, at least.

I have definitely had the "the thing I was looking at right after the app opened disappeared after a few seconds and I can't find it again" experience /u/mfontani describes.
Might have been an earlier version we were testing before we built out the new posts pill, this feature went through several iterations.

I have 1000+ connections on FB, built out over the past 15 years (I started using FB in college when it was a college network); which is to say, I'd never be able to fully read everything every one of my connections have posted because there are too many. Sometimes I see an interesting post as I'm scrolling, start reading it, and everything changes (sometimes it waits until I click into the comments of a post, and go back, and then everything changes, which is arguably worse because now I can't refer back to the original post...). If I didn't make a mental note of who created that post, it's lost forever. If I remember who posted it, at least I could search for that person, and scroll down on their feed.

(Author here) To clarify, we don't actually replace it automatically - we show a pill notification that new stories are available. You can either choose to tap it and see the new feed, or ignore it and continue with what you were doing
