Description

When I've been building followers manually I've found it a lot more effective to follow people who have just liked a post by a relevant account, rather than that accounts followers.

What would be great is to find posts by a target account within a specified time, ie. last 30 minutes, or ideally even less, and follow the users who have liked it most recently. That way you're much more likely to follow a user who is still actively browsing instagram, and thus more likely to follow back.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so first trace the existing account-post discovery and follow-user flows. Define the target-account time window and the ordering of recent likers, then verify that the completed flow finds those users and follows them without relying on an already-claimed implementation.
