@stillnotahero: actually, you can do that - request data package in JSON format from Instagram, and import data to your Pixelfed instance of choice. It will take care of the rest. The only thing you still have to do is to convince people to move over.

@dansup

@stillnotahero I believe there already is a system for that on Pixelfed

@stillnotahero @dansup PixelFed supports that already

https://pixelfed.blog/p/2023/feature/introducing-import-from-instagram

@stillnotahero @dansup there already is

@stillnotahero export your data from Insta and then import them to pixelfed, see https://pixelfed.social/site/kb/import for details
@dansup

@stillnotahero @dansup There is a way to do so already https://pixelfed.social/site/kb/import

@stillnotahero @dansup There is a way!

@stillnotahero There's already an onboarding process but IG throttles from what I understand.
