Script hangs if faces the user that cannot be mentioned

[bawk3]

Hi there! Using your script and facing the issue that if user in his privacy settings set that nobody can mention him so script hangs with "Could no post comment".

In this case my flow is following

• manually edit follower list, deleting users that were mentioned including one who cannot be mentioned.
• rerun script

I've seen that you're already thinking on mentions tracker, so not to mention twice. Please consider on checking if user can be mentioned.
Thanks

Hello,

I've done a little research about that and I found out that the error's notification which Instagram sends you when you can't mention someone is the same as when you comment too much, reaching your account's rate limit.
Might need to search a little more but from what I saw it will be a difficult battle finding if the error is from someone blocking mentions or if it is just reaching the comment's rate limit.

For now I'm very busy with work and so I can't contribute more to the project... But sure, once I finally have time to implement some features I will try finding a way around. Project is open-source if anyone would like to contribute.

Thanks :)

Thanks for the feedback!
I certanly can say that this issue because of user blocked his mentions because if I remove this user from list and rerun script - everything goes fine...untill meet another user who blocked his mentions 😜

However I do not push, just friendly notice about possible feature. Also will do some research on this and if will have enough knowledge - will try to contrubute something.

Thanks and have nice holidays 🎄

I've been trying to find a way around the "Couldn't post comment". When clicking on the send comment button, you already defined the "couldn't post comment" exception, but it just has "sleep(60)". My logic was trying to make it skip that comment (or those two comments, depending on the user's choice in config.ini), like comment++, but that doesn't work. I tried calling the write_comment functon again, but it says it's undefined.
