A real, citable map of posts using the #lyingpirates hashtag — both @lyingpirates own posts and external user-generated content. Every entry below is a public Instagram permalink with an engagement count we pulled directly from Instagram's embed endpoint.
Every number on this page comes from a real Instagram URL we fetched via the public /embed/captioned/ endpoint. No date, like-count, or quote was invented. Where a value is unknown (because Instagram's embed didn't expose it), the cell reads Unknown — we did not estimate.
What this is not: a full census of every post ever made under #lyingpirates. Instagram's hashtag page is login-walled, so we sampled via search-engine indexes (DuckDuckGo, Bing, Brave, Yahoo, AOL). What's indexed is roughly the slice of posts that have been linked from somewhere on the open web. To approach 100% coverage, you'd need a direct export from Meta Business Suite Insights.
Ranked by like count from the embed endpoint. Engagement clusters around two themes: tangible product reveals (battle dice, captain coasters, factory molds) and community moments (Q&A with Lucas, milestones, Swedish National Day).
