Crosspost because still getting used to lemmy

I have to create one for personal reasons. I know it’s inherently un-private, but how can I maximize privacy while creating & using it without running into problems?

    General rule: if there’s a web client then use that instead of an official app

    Don’t use the app and only log on using a firefox container on desktop, with all the usual privacy extensions. That and the usual - use a new email and maybe a burner number (if they require it). Also take some time to check your account settings (i.e. limit your post audience, etc.)

    New burner phone no sim, only wifi. Use public wifi, dedicated email made specifically for insta at the same as the ig account
