@timgrossmann Tim, let's say I set .set_upper_followers(limit=250). For some hashtag the first 20 pictures will be by users with large amounts of followers, so I won't like any of those pictures unless I set a really high number in like_by_tags.
Using set_upper_followers() works, but it takes a lot of time. I think a 'skip the "top" in each hashtag' feature would be beneficial.

By "top" you mean the the first few images that show up on the page?

Is it that they are always same because Instagram has pinned them because of their popularity?

Yeah they are always there during hashtag searches. So if you do the same tag multiple times in a day, you end up wasting a good 5-10 minutes just getting thru posts you already like.

Actually it would be great if you could just skip posts you like before the timer starts

You can simply use the .set_upper_followers() to make sure you won't interact with them.
These accounts mostly have a lot of followers.
