Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/alexal1/Insomniac/issues/119

This is a recurring problem.
Eventually the script fails to identify that the list of followers has already ended and so it is 'forever' treating and skipping the same users.

One solution would be to identify if the visible users are the same after scrolling, identifying that the IG is no longer loading new users and has come to an end.

Could you give a device screenshot when this happens?

I rely on that there are "recommendations" at the bottom of followers list. But maybe for some accounts you don't have them, then we have to find another criteria of finishing.

I see that accounts with few followers have no recommendations at the bottom of the list.
See the image as it appears.

Yes indeed. Ok then I can check that all followers on the screen are the same as on previous screen, and stop if so.

Yes, I think that checking this way would solve all the problems with scrolling that list.
