disclaimer: zero instagram experience

From <1yo results on setting up an anonymous instagram account: Different email address, different phone number and I'll add setting up from a different device and IP.

    Lots of email options, like disroot.org.
    If your phone takes a physical sim, you can buy a new prepaid starter.
        Or sign up with a MVNO like anveo.com and get a forwarding number
        (incoming text only w/ that last)
    A public library would connect you with a different device and IP

If you succeed, there may be some risk of identification when you add family to your contacts. I'm not savvy enough to guide you thru that tho.

This is useful info and POV. Thanks so much for the pointers. Everything is exhausting right now, including using basic tools that became de facto behemoths of communications.

I have been trying a combination of those—though the app doesn't like GrapheneOS either, I suspect. I transitioned most of my overseas family to Signal and other channels, though some of them just won't—and I understand that.

P.S. Happy to see another Kagi user help here. :)
