Can somebody tell be what i'm doing wrong?

I have first time installed https://github.com/instabot-py/instabot.py
normally the example.py is a big file so i have made it short all i want is the bot to follow don't like anything else.

But the bot is commenting, liking, following but this is NOT in my script... look below please so why is it commenting and liking stuff o_O it's commenting stuff that i din't even wrote o_O:anyway: all i have is follow and a tag list.

Example.py file:
--------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env python3

from instabot_py import InstaBot

bot = InstaBot(
login="00000", # Enter username (lowercase). Do not enter email!
password="00000",
tag_list=["apple", "l:212999109"],
tag_blacklist=["rain", "thunderstorm"],
follow_per_day=300,
follow_time=1 * 60 * 60,
log_mod=0,
proxy="00000000",
)

bot.mainloop()

Hope there are python user here :p:p

What kind of output do you get when you run the script and leave it to work for a few minutes?
 
it seems like it's listening to my tag word: apple and location
In the top it's talking about instabot_py.config and also instabot.config.yml but idk thats the problem in there have changed a lot in there but it's still liking things xD

Finally got it working!
can you please share what you did? it might come in handy for some guy in 5 years when he stumbles upon this thread with the exact same problem. when he does, he's going to light a candle to the internet gods&u that have blessed him with the solution.
 
Yeah i agree with you!

everything you don't use has to be 0, except max_like_for_one_tag=5, you can't put that on 0 and i was doing that.
To only follow people you can change you example.py to this.

In the example.py file:

like_per_day=0,
comments_per_day=0,
tag_list=["follow4follow", "f4f", "cute", "l:212999109"],
tag_blacklist=["rain", "thunderstorm"],
user_blacklist={},
max_like_for_one_tag=5,
follow_per_day=5000,
follow_time=10,
unfollow_per_day=0,
unlike_per_day=0,
unfollow_break_min=15, --> don't put those on 0!!!
unfollow_break_max=30, --> don't put those on 0!!!
