User level: Level 1 (12 points)Suddenly my instagram feed's home icon is black. And as I scroll along, video content disappears in each subsequent video with that video also blacking out. But the audio is intact. Any ideas?

Ask Meta Instagram support, too. Their website, after all.
That written, macOS 11.7 is five to six years old, and it wouldn’t surprise that Meta Instagram is not testing browsers that far back. Or that Meta Instagram has some missing tests.
Put differently, see if one of the long-term support browsers work better, assuming that Mac can’t be upgraded past macOS 11.

Try a different browser and compare your results...
For your third party website—

This is the way support ends, not with a bang but a whimper.
But best to ask Meta support. This is their website operation, after all. It breaks fairly often.
Or try an LTS browser.
