The last thing you need to keep in mind is that the Later app copies the text related to your post to the clipboard. So once it redirects you to the Instagram app you can simply paste it in the text box.
I tried several extensions for Firefox and Chrome. They work, but I get very few likes (much fewer than if I upload from a mobile device). I don’t know why, I have 30 hashtags.
Just a small note, but this is not hard to pull off in FF using Developer Tools:
Basically, just use Dev Tools to emulate a mobile device, and all of the functionality will become available to you (just like the mobile version, of course ).
Ah, I see. Sorry to hear that. It’s less than perfect on Mint too. I get a javascript error on startup / quit: “… app.css not found in /opt/Ramme/resources/app.asar” and “Uncaught Exception: Object has been destroyed at Timeout.intervalFunc …”
I tried it I think. I think the hashtags are ignored if you upload a photo with it. I get very few likes. Anyway I get more likes if I upload with the android app.
I’ve been using the Bluestacks android emulator that runs under Windows. Unfortunately they do not have a Linux version. I haven’t tried it but I think that you are supposed to be able to run Android-x86 from within Virtualbox. Info on the Android-x86 option is here: https://www.android-x86.org/
One approach that might work is to use Android in a Box to run the actual Android Instagram app in Linux. You can install Instagram from an apk at APKMirror. I have played around with Android in a Box in the past but did not try Instagram. One complication you might run into is a possible requirement for Google Play to be installed (also at APKMirror) and whether that works in Android in a Box or not.
