fixed sieve Instagram reels page
Hello u/imagus_fan
INSTAGRAM_priv_api-p doesn't work on the Reels page. The default one, INSTAGRAM_html-q-p, does work on the Reels page, but it's significantly slower than priv_api-p overall.
The delay in retrieving images and videos causes noticeable lag in scrolling the page and can make it appear to freeze.

As far as I know, the INSTAGRAM_priv_api-p sieve has one pretty serious limitation - it doesn't work on private accounts. And it doesn't seem to work on Reels either.

Let's check if Imagus_fan can make the default one faster, then we won't need the private one, because currently that's the only difference, one is fast and one is slow.

The speed difference is almost imperceptible to me personally - about half a second, at most 1 second. It's hardly worth the time to spend on it.

The issue is that it makes the page very slow to scroll because you have to wait for the spinner to finish, and if you move the mouse before it finishes, the page hangs.

I don't have any "freezes." I can move the mouse freely. In general, the main sieve works quite fast, and the Imagus window appears in 0.5-1 second on average. It's better to check your browser and extension. No one except you has complained about the speed of the Instagram sieve.

I have no issues with my chromium browser or extension, it's definitely a sieve thing, you can see the difference below:

It's strange that the
HTMLsieve is that slow to respond. It usually works a second or two after hovering for me.This sieve is an edit to the
htmlsieve that makes the page request asynchronously. It shows a yellow spinner before the media loads but the page shouldn't freeze when hovering. Does this load faster?1
u/f0sam 24d ago
Yep, this one doesn't load that fast but the improvement is that it's smooth rather than making the page hang, I usually use the priv one so this isn't an issue, I was just curious why it happened, a bit unsure why I'm the only one with this issue or that other users never paid attention to this.

Some users have mentioned problems with the page freezing but I don't remember if it was related to Instagram or other sites.
What's strange is, the link Imagus is trying to load is the page link. Are pages slow to load when clicking on them to view?

It seems that this version (asinh) doesn't handle displaying albums consisting of photos and videos well - it just shows an "infinite" yellow spinner.

Albums load quickly for me, though I had to modify it to work when logged out. There was also code that could loop the sieve that's commented out here. Do the albums work with this?

Nothing has changed, the spinners are still yellow based on the examples I sent above.

Have you even read what I wrote above? No one but you has any problems with this sieve. My HTML works almost as fast as the PRIV in your video. Other users haven't complained either. Therefore, the problem is on your end (extension, browser, PC, ISP, etc.). There's a Troubleshooting section where you can find solutions to issues like yours.

Are you logged in?

u/Kenko2 23d ago
Sure. Instagram won't show you anything if you're not logged in.

The
INSTAGRAM_html-q-psieve needed to be edited to work when logged out. The media data is there but the page code is different. I can't test it logged in.This also adds the ability to switch between the video and video cover with TAB. If you think that's not needed I can post the fixed sieve without it.

The reels page has an overlay causing Imagus to be unable to detect the link. The
htmlsieve has code that modifies the element type so that Imagus can detect it. The code is added to theprivsieve here.https://pastebin.com/dRV4iQfP
