@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 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? We just processed thousands of backlogged IG Import jobs, if you are waiting for your import to process on https://pixelfed.social, it should be done now! @pixelfed Just checking, is it by design that the post count doesn’t change after an import?

@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...

@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… ✨ Import from Instagram Now available! 🥳 PR: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/pull/4466 Docs: https://pixelfed.social/site/kb/import Thanks again to @NGIZero for funding this amazing feature! #instagramImport

@pixelfed good thing federated techies and gamers don't overlap much or this name might confuse people about its relationship to https://moddb.com @pixelfed Someone tried this with Minecraft and it didn't work well. What safeguards does this system have against abuse? 📢 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 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 has this new version shipped? I’ve been hanging out for a simpler install process. ✨ Pixelfed Sponsors To help sustain our project, we will be accepting Company Sponsors with additional perks soon! If you'd like to discuss Company Sponsorship, email us at hello@pixelfed.org The costs associated with running pixelfed.org, pixelfed.social, https://fedidb.org and https://fediverse.info have grown over the past few months. Please consider donating to our Patreon or OpenCollective if you haven't already. Our project is funded by people like you! ✨ 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

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 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 :) 💾 Export your Instagram ✨ Import into Pixelfed We're updating our Import feature to better support the latest IG export format, and will be rolling out later tonight! Make sure you select the JSON information format. #pixelfed #instagramImport

@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! ✨ 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 Thanks to @NGIZero for funding this feature! |
@pixelfed is it possible to import on other servers ? (Metapixl ?)
@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?
