Unfortunately, I'll need another day or two to finish Import from Instagram to @pixelfed

I originally was testing against my own export, which is pretty small. I was able to get my partners export and it's over 1GB!

Rather than imposing export size limits, I'm refactoring to support any size without requiring admins to increase file upload limits.

It's pretty complicated, but the UX is really nice, so I appreciate your patience while I wrap this up!

I promise it will be worth the wait 😉

@dansup @pixelfed

do you mean full restoration of previous ig content ?
Also video ?

Like, could we tell an average IG user to copy all his stuff and see if they like their fully populated pixelfed ?

@dansup @pixelfed If you would like I could create a secondary account and play with my archive. It's around 3 gigabytes, so a good stress tesst. I would need to request my archive first.

@dansup @pixelfed exciting, I think this is going to *huge* for getting others to migrate

@dansup @pixelfed maybe it's worth doing this as an out-of-browser tool?

@dansup @pixelfed Thanks Daniel. I’ve got almost ten years of #photoOfTheDay to import from IG so I’m happy to wait a little bit longer. 🐸
