Import from Instagram, is rolling out later today!

We needed another day to better test larger imports.

⚡ Admins can set max import limit

⚡ Imported posts retain original post date and position on your profile feed

⚡ Imported posts are not delivered to followers, but can be searched remotely and interacted with as usual

⚡ Imported posts will not appear on timeline feeds

⚡ Archived posts from IG can be imported as well, since we also support an Archive feature

@pixelfed does this mean migrating from one Pixelfed instance to another including posts is also coming soon?

@pixelfed A few years ago I figured out how to import from the instagram export files, to Wordpress. I spent two days on it but eventually it worked. Are you able to do it via the API? I did it by download, and upload because I couldn't get an API key at the time.

@richardazia We are using Data Export zip archives in json format. I doubt we would get an API key from Instagram for this purpose

@pixelfed main-vision.com/richard/blog/h How I did it in 2020 from Json to CSV and from CSV into Wordpress. I didn't have the knowledge that I have now. Now I could be more effective.

Woohoo
I can't wait for this.
I hope it works. Good luck.

@pixelfed When will the feature be avalable on pixelfed.social?

@pixelfed Thanks a lot for implementing this feature. How long does the processing of the imported posts take? I wait already since more then an half hour :)
