@dansup @pixelfed What kind of cassette tape do you have there?

@dansup @pixelfed it will import posts and stories with all their filters and sounds? And what about tags and mentions? (BTW you’re awesome)

@dansup @pixelfed oooh this might actually make me abandon Insta!

@dansup @pixelfed This is going to be huge actually!

@dansup @pixelfed is it a one time import or can it effectively do syncing in a periodic basis? I assume the idea is migration, but sometimes migration needs a transition period.

@dansup @pixelfed will it still support the old Instagram export format and will it support importing collections as collections?
Show threadpixelfedJun 8, 2023

@baarkerlounger @dansup I'm aiming to support both old and new formats.

What do you mean by IG collections?

Show threadbaarkerloungerJun 8, 2023
@pixelfed @dansup posts that contain multiple pictures in a single post. In the original pixelfed import implementation they were imported as multiple individual posts.
Show threadpixelfedJun 8, 2023
@baarkerlounger @dansup Oh I see, IG posts with multiple media (carousels) will be translated into a proper Pixelfed album post with multiple media per post as expected!

@dansup @pixelfed great news indeed! Will this feature include batch import of Instagram backup files?
Show threadKrystian MajewskiJun 8, 2023
@dansup @pixelfed Oooh! Nice. Will probably switch entirely once that is up
