You can switch to a following-only view, but it resets whenever the app is re-launched, which is a real scummy pattern.

Agree on the need for a proper website that isn’t read-only. I get that most usage will come from mobile, but for the more interesting and prolific posters, tapping out blurbs and interacting with others on mobile is a second-rate experience that doesn’t feel as rich when compared to using a web app.

Meta’s working on it, so hopefully we’ll see if the culture of the service shifts away from that Instagram feel.
