Anyone got a mirror that doesn't require a fucking Instagram account?

Edit: YouTube short but at least it doesn't try to beg for a login: https://m.youtube.com/shorts/xL8gdhw4q5I

    You can force youtube shorts to be displayed as a normal video by replacing everything up to the last slash with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v

    So in this case it's:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL8gdhw4q5I

    Edit: For some reason Lemmy won't let me put an equals sign at the end of the code block. Weird. But you'll figure it out.

    Yeah, it's their fault that Meta wants you to create/login to an account. /s

    I didn't say that, it's just that recommending a CLI tool just to view a single insta video strikes me as ridiculous.

    Especially since there are a bunch of websites that will let you browse insta anonymously.
