I would love to see a user-friendly error message fallback. I feel this is pretty important because Instagram has very low API rate limits. Rather than a user seeing the current error message (e.g. "error while retrieving images... check if your Instagram profile is public, don't use VPN, maybe you got a daily instagram api rate limit for your ip: try again after 48h or open a new bug report on github") it would be better to:
Show the user something helpful. For example, a nicely designed screen with an Instagram icon, profile "@user" and a link to their profile (in a new tab). The user doesn't even have to know it's an error.
Show the actual error message in the console log where a developer would look.
Feature motivation
I just don't want end users seeing error messages, links to GitHub, etc. when they're just trying to view content on a website. Most of the time with Instagram it's from API rate limits, so it's not like the user (or developer) can do anything to solve the issue. At least in this case, even if the Instagram API fails, the user could still see a link to the Instagram account and click through if they're interested.
