I'm often asked about adding support to @pixelfed to mirror IG accounts, or import IG posts by url

Here's the thing: Pixelfed has to respect the ToS of IG, and doing this is a clear violation

Now that Threads is here, Pixelfed is likely further being monitored for compliance and I'm okay with this because I have no intention of violating API rules or ToS

The best option is to export your IG data (in JSON format) and then import to Pixelfed!
