Any public Pixelfed instance that allows Instagram import?
Is there any public instance, where I could use function “import from instagram”?
Im looking for general instance, preferably hosted in Europe
Syndicated from the fediverse. Read and engage on the original instance.

Gram.social is a good one, hosted in Germany with thebimpoet feature available. Its the largest server in Europe. And second largest from the instances according to pixelfed.org/servers
Im at Gram.social but I cant import anything
Cant import? I'm not an Instagram user but as far as I'm aware there is an option to do that at settings > import > Import from Instagram (hit the import button)
Yes, I tried that and I get an error.
Maybe ig changed structure of the files
That might be the thing; maybe others on this wonderful platform can help you further.
@Kkk2237pl Can I suggest that success here is modifying and building on existing tools that work with other existing tools and making them work better.
For example - I found git.sr.ht/~cloutier/dotmakeup #dotmakeup by @vincent - which can pull instagram and twitter posts and syndicate them. #Friendica has add on that post to Twitter - so my thinking is that adding #dotmakup tools into Friendica would help allow users to migrate to Friendica while maintaining connections via Twitter and Instagram
Dropping back a bit Friendica works really well on #Yunohost - making #Yunohost easier to run on a homerouter as a drop in replacement for ISP supplied routers would mean that it would be easier for people to buy a bit of kit, take it home , turn it on , have their own ActivityPub server running fairly quickly and be linked into those existing communities (both ActivityPub and commercial)
Another platform? Isnt Pixelfed / Monnett enough? ;)
In the end I thought that I will just set up new own Pixelfed instance, and I will import everything and fix dates if needed
@lovingisliving If you want a #Facebook replacement then look to #Friendica - rather than anything new.
@lovingisliving What specifically were the issues that you ran into?
Improving it - that's alot less work than recreating something from scratch.
@lovingisliving
Hmmm, it has a lot of nice features and connectivity. But yes, it's not easy to handle.
@abeorch
@lovingisliving @zarapp I can only talk to my own experience but running an instance for friends and family has been pretty minimal effort
