Social Media

Social platforms don't give you a built-in way to see who unfollowed you or which accounts you follow that don't follow back — you have to export your own data and compare it yourself. This cluster covers doing that safely: using Instagram's official data export (never a third-party app that asks for your password, which violates Instagram's terms and risks your account), turning that export into a plain list of usernames, and reading the comparison results as mutual follows, one-way follows, and unfollows. The same technique extends to any platform that offers a similar data export, not just Instagram — the comparison logic doesn't care which social network the usernames came from. Both guides emphasize the same privacy point that runs through the whole site: your exported username list is compared entirely in your browser and is never uploaded to or stored by DiffLists, which matters more for social data than most, since a follower list can reveal who you're interested in professionally or personally.
