I know Instagram is anti privacy, but can anyone explain this? Question about multiple Instagram accounts on different apps sharing data between each other (lemmy.one)

So I have 2 Instagram apps on my phone. Instander is my personal account and instathunder is my "lewd" account (mostly cosplay girls and such). They're on separate apps and use separate emails, however, my main accounts search page is like 90% cosplay/goth/alt girls. I have never looked that up on my personal account but its all that's being recommended.

Are they reading information from each other? How can I stop this? Also, how do I get my personal accounts feed to be normal again?

Also you've markes yourself as a bot account. Am I talking to a bot?

[–] Drew@lemmy.one 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I am not. Is that what that icon means? I was wondering about that

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes. I read your post earlier and ignored it because I thought you were a robot reposting content.

[–] Drew@lemmy.one 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah I just disabled it. Didn't realize that's what the icon is
