none free that I know of but followliker is relatively cheap and does a great job.

Gram multitool by @JJJackson is free as of now and capable of doing this.

Hey my friend! This is the best thread I read about the algortihm so far, thanks man!

I think I got to start a new account, because my account now is just flagged...
The only question, do you think I can transfer my older account name to the new account or is this just stupid?
Respectively, can I rescue my older accounts name?

Cheers mate

well i've never tried it so can't say honestly. A friend of mine is doing great using his old name though.

Actually, I'm using the follow/unfollow method via bot (without liking as OP suggested) and the engagement are very high.
You have to focus on defined targets such as public accs who recently liked/commented on related niche accs.
As OP mentioned, you should consider smart filters and include intervals for follow/unfollow process to avoid suspicious activity.

yes exactly , be smart than being a bot

Trying this right now, will get back to you to see results in the next pictures !

edouardd · Aug 10, 2017

Seems to be very smart

I don't knew about this '' The way ig algorithm works is that when you post, your post will be shown to a small sample to accounts '' so thanks for the value !

Sounds very good! On the Duplicate site, should I take the ones with 1 Counts(Following but not liked) or 2(Both following and liked). And how can i Copy the usernames from the duplciate site without the Count Number in front of every name

unit731 · Aug 10, 2017

@tux you say follow/unfollow bot can mess up the account for getting big so i was wondering, do online planners for posting have the possibility of doing the same? Also do you suggest any free planners for posting at all? Thank you for all your help here!

I thought 1 was followed and liked and 2 was followed NOT liked?

To get read of the number and | symbol use notepad++
Paste all list in a new doc
Ctrl H to bring up the replace dialogue box
Paste this in Find what. Make sure there is a space at the name of it. Leave the rest as shown in SS. Click replace all.

.*[\|]

To remove the numbers, just add the number in Find What and leave the Replace with [blank]

kkshisuke · Aug 11, 2017

Oh I only took the 1, then to get rid of the numbers I just used excel and replaced it by a blank space

there is instabot.py and one beta test going on right now for gmt 2 by @JJJackson , you can test it for free.

better have an account with good engagement than free loaders who will never like your pic

I never said otherwise, and I agree too. ^^

I Post by the ig app itself for max engagement. I don't know of a free online poster, you can gramblr it's free.

To Separate the NP with the P in Steps 4
At the Instagram Manager program and once the program has loaded all the list. This will take some time if you have 10k+ names.

Click on the Verified tab to sort all the false and true together.

Export > All Data > CSV
Open the saved file in Excel and highlight the Verified column.
Ctrl F and type 'true' to find the first row with true.
From that row, select all the rows with true and ctrl X.
Open a new sheet and paste. This new sheet will be your P (true) list and the first sheet will be your NP (false) list.
Delete the rest of the column except username column.
Expand the username column so that the names isn't hidden for both sheets.
Save each sheet and label as P and NP with extension .csv
Import the P list into your bot as a blacklist or ignore these users.
Import the NP list into your bot and like 2 or 3 images.

Hope this helps for some that are confused on how to complete this step.

Thanks , I did the method 2 days ago and I see better engagement at my accounts.

Katte · Aug 11, 2017

guys, is there an option to generate a feed with my followers photos? I'm taking time off from bots & I'd like to try this solution manually.

This, I would really like to find a method of manually liking the photos!

Guys I have a question, maybe I'm just stupid, but I can't understand this step.

"5 - Block out the private users P using specific filters - block all those who don't have a profile image/bio, haven't posted in last 60 days, have number of posts less than 2. This will filter out almost all bots without making a dent in your followers count. I use a private bot which provides all these filters, i'm sure the common bots has it too."

I'm supposed to BLOCK those users via a bot? And only some of the private ones? Or block private and non-private too based on those filters? (non-private with those characteristics can be bot too, no?)

This is a great guide, more in depth than what I have done in the past but I have set my bot to like my follower's posts to get them to like most posts in return. Knowing who to target makes this much easier (and if the scraping is done correctly, a bit smoother with a bot in a shorter period of time).

Thanks!

Pugano · Aug 12, 2017

Wait so should i take the 1s or the 2s in the unique finder list?

Okay, this is the method I developed:

I generate instagram.com/username links with EXCEL and copy that list (batch of 200-300)

I use one of the free web tools that open a list of urls in new tabs (logged in instagram.com) and manually like 2-3 photos through the instagram website, closing the tabs already done. (I also use this method to block and unblock ghost users/bots)

trying this right now with FL, filtering out my 151k followers (private, without profile pics, blacklisted keyword in profile) hopefully will see results in a week/

only way to do that is by following your non followers, so my method is better

block all private users that doesn't have a profile pic or those who have no of pics less than 2 via a bot or manually.

Work FL as much as you can. I don't think the developer will give us veteran users a break with the subscription fees. I fear the worst for us end users.
