Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/alexal1/Insomniac/issues/233

As a user coming over from Instapy so that I could increase my daily actions without getting banned, I thought I'd share some of the actions I miss (the actions that instapy had that insomniac doesn't).

Instapy is a better bot in terms of the actions it can do.

Insomniac is a better bot in terms of not getting banned.

Good feature to add number 1: Interact by user's likers
Why is this important? Currently Insomniac will interact with an account's followers, but the people who liked their posts are the ones which are most likely to be active on instagram and the ones that like posts so targeting them will end you up with higher engagement ratio

Implementation:
In the same way there is hashtag-top-likers adding @natgeo-likers would be a great feature.

Good feature to add number 2: Comment on posts
Why is this important? This will hugely increase follow back ratio of users you didn't even follow in the first place causing authentic followers who didn't follow you just because you followed them. They followed because they genuinely enjoy your account.

Implementation:
comment-set Nice one, Great post, Love this
comment-percentage 20

Good feature to add number 3: Unfollow filter
Stop the unfollow from happening if user was followed less than (x) days ago
Why is this important? This will greatly decrease unfollow after unfollow numbers

Implementation:
min-follow-time (x)*24*60*60
unfollow 200

Hi @Ardy000 ,
First, thanks for your feedback!
Feature # 1 - you are totally right, and we are working on it, and the implementation will be just like you described.
Feature # 2 - Already implemented (just like to have written) and going to be released with a new version we are about to release this week.
Feature # 3 - Good point, will be added to the todo-list

Wow, 2 out of 3 already working on. I guess great minds think alike haha.

Thanks to you and your team for your work on this.

Since you've got 2/3 down, I might as well make one more recommendation from Instapy's most used features.

Interact with commenters:
For example:
@natgeo-commenters

I just started coding and I am learning so I might be able to help implement these too.

Awesome project!
