I just went through the (frankly) cumbersome task of registering a Meta app that will allow oEmbeds earlier today. I don’t know why they made the process so difficult, especially the part where they want to verify your app works in order to approve the permissions but the functionality of the app depends on the permission existing (!!??). Waiting to hear back soon

I can’t address any of the questions here myself, mostly posting to follow this topic. I did read somewhere on this meta forum that the non-onebox version of Instagram embeds do not play well with infinite scroll, specially due to the variable height. Is that what’s happening here? I’ll also mention that just a quick search for “instagram” on the discourse github repo does a good job at finding the relevant bits of code
