@pixelfed is it possible to import on other servers ? (Metapixl ?)

Christof Damian 💙💛

@pixelfed I think the documentation is also currently wrong. It says the limit is 1000 posts, but the limit is in fact 100.

@pixelfed I know there is lot going on, but will there be any update on the import bug?

@pixelfed looks great, one suggestion is maybe change the colours in the gradient as they highly resemble Instagram's ones, and Meta loves money :)

@pixelfed This is really cool and exciting. Weird that there’s people getting upset as if they contributed to the project or paid money. It’s a feature they simply do not have to use. It’s great for those that want the feature

@pixelfed I was trying this out today, and it seems that stories aren’t federated outside of Pixelfed. So if someone follows my pixelfed account from Mastodon, they don’t get notified of any of the story content. Is that correct? ActivityPub / Mastodon COULD handle displaying these posts, and even deleting them after the set time. Maybe display them in a threaded post as a sort of collection as they get added?

pixelfed

We just processed thousands of backlogged IG Import jobs, if you are waiting for your import to process on pixelfed.social, it should be done now!

DELETED

@pixelfed Didn't even know we could do this! 🤯 Gonna have to get on that!

narF 🎲

@pixelfed In order to migrate, do we need to have an active Instagram account or can we use an exported data zip file? (I exported mine before closing my account last year)

Chris Drumgoole

@pixelfed Just checking, is it by design that the post count doesn’t change after an import?

⚡ IG Import + Privacy

We recognize and respect the importance of your privacy.

When you upload your IG .zip, you aren't actually uploading it to the server, rather the .zip is unarchived and handled in your browser.

We do this to preserve your privacy, so only the posts you select to import will be uploaded to the server.

Your DMs and other personal data is never uploaded.

What a good news.
Plus, it’s a great technical choice to avoid the server getting caught up from receiving too much data 😅

@pixelfed

How long does this #instagram migration feature exist, and why didn't I know this... I was doing it manually one post at a time (per day).

Luckily I have 200 posts only...

Chase :ani_clubtwit:

@pixelfed Awesome! Now, I just need for the import tool to import all of the posts correctly.

Mitex Leo

@pixelfed I increased it to 10k 🙂 .. I hope it won't break anything...

@pixelfed @dansup not mentioned is whether this is in a version number release or just in main branch?

Dallas Groot

@pixelfed I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. But I have 800 queued for upload and it hasn’t moved for over 10 min. I also tried on pixelfed.social to upload just 1 and it's still showing it’s uploading…

Chris Colvin :blobcat:

@pixelfed @NGIZero any idea how long the import should take? The UI said import was in progress but it has been about 16 hours with none of my imported posts showing up.

Nicolas Folliot

@pixelfed @NGIZero Is it supposed to work on any pixelfed instance? I'm on pixelfed.fr but can't find any import option there.

Margaret Cushing

@pixelfed @NGIZero I can only import two photos at a time from the .zip file. Is there a setting I’m missing?

We're building an open service for Pixelfed called ModDB, and it will support other projects as well.

More details soon.

ModDB, community federation moderation

@pixelfed good thing federated techies and gamers don't overlap much or this name might confuse people about its relationship to moddb.com

Jimmy Hoke :tardis:

@pixelfed Someone tried this with Minecraft and it didn't work well. What safeguards does this system have against abuse?

zodarr

@pixelfed
Hi, my two cents regarding the name, there is a moddb.com (and also indiedb.com, but that's not really relevant in this situation).
That site contains game mods, all kinds of them, and exists who knows since when.
Just saying.

📢 Friendly Reminder, we offer import/exportable block lists for admins on Pixelfed! 🎉🔒

This powerful feature empowers administrators to foster a secure and welcoming community.

A huge shoutout to our amazing users for inspiring us to make Pixelfed even better! 💙 #pixelfed #AdminFeatures #SafeCommunity

Jake :QueerCat_Bisexual:

@pixelfed

Is there an easy way to for a user to see the blocklist? I recently had some bad experiences with known bad servers that weren't blocked. Before switching to another instance I'd like to validate their block list.

pixelfed

Sometimes less is more.

Our next version will be much easier to install 😉

Less dependencies, Easier installation

Should say "Fewer dependencies" not Less.
Less= aggregated thing like dependency
Fewer=enumerable things like dependencies

Andrew Litschner :verified:

@pixelfed has this new version shipped? I’ve been hanging out for a simpler install process.

@pixelfed I'm curious about the costs.

What's the estimated monthly cost at the moment? Is it written somewhere already?

Thanks for running these amazing services 💚

✨ Privacy + Import from IG

We recognize and respect the importance of your privacy.

When you Import from IG, only the posts you select will be sent to the server (and associated metadata like caption and timestamps).

We will not import, transmit or otherwise store any other data included in the export archive.

The source code for the Import feature will prove this, and remain auditable once we ship this feature! #privacy #import #instagram

@pixelfed Great to hear, that IG Import will be availible! Thanks a lot!

@pixelfed are you able to access pixelfed via the mastadon app, or so I need a completely different app? I am still new to this fediverse. I run graphene os

pixelfed

Besides Import from Instagram, what other silos would you like to see supported?

Flickr? 500px? Facebook? Reply with platforms you'd like to see Import supported for!

@pixelfed WordPress would actually be great. I have a photo blog I started on WordPress.com a while back and would love to move over to PF.

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 will this feature be able to parse old IG backups? I have a IG backup from several years ago

We just shipped a federation update to support account update activities and fix remote avatar urls.

When remote accounts you follow update their avatar, bio or display name, we now reflect those changes where appropriate.

We don't yet federate account changes, but we will soon!

In case you missed it, we released a preview of our API docs website!

✨ Roles + Pixelfed

Define fine-grained permission based role groups and triggers that automatically migrate roles when certain conditions are met.

This will allow admins to better manage and moderate, and use suggested roles to further limit spam and abuse.

Shipping soon! #pixelfed #roles
