Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/alexal1/Insomniac/issues/69

Since update to last version my bot is struggling to find non-followers. It clicks on so many profiles until instagram starts to throw error 'please wait few minutes' and then bot start to unfollow followers because page is not loaded and can't read the status I guess. Maybe has to do something with latest #53 fix? Anyone got similar issue?

UPDATE: It seems that followed list on the phone loads first 50 (or so) users again and again - falls into loop. I have to swipe it manually to load new ones. Clear cache didn't help. Is it possible for bot to sort the list from latest followed instead of oldest?

That's a huge problem. I know about these loops, got them while scrolling manually. We have to think how to solve this.

So, when you swipe manually it goes out of the loop? What's the difference between your swipe and programmatic?

Nope, that fix was about interaction with bloggers, here we have unfollowing, that's completely another part of the algorithm.

Manually I swipe one huge chunk right after bot sorts the list, it works without problem after that.

Okaaay, I'll add some checking for a loop and a huge scroll after that, let's see if it helps

I think it refresh the list when reach bottom of loaded users fast. It stops for a second, loading circle shows up and new users are loaded. So maybe when loop occurs it should swipe to the bottom instantly, dunno. Thank you for your effort and being responsive. Cheers
