We found the issue that was preventing Import from Instagram posts from being properly imported on pixelfed.social
We are in the process of importing the remaining 50k posts!
@pixelfed Please fix the server software as soon as possible. This is where the same problem occurs. It's primarily because an Instagram post doesn't contain any text, right?
@pixelfed great news — thanks for the update!
Been waiting on my posts to be imported for a couple of days.
@pixelfed Thanks, that's great news!
@pixelfed it still crashes my browser every time I try.
@pixelfed
Hmm, how about import from Flickr? Yeah, I know I'm a dinosaur.
@dancingtreefrog @pixelfed Flick import will be fantastic!!
I may be a dinosaur too :-)
@dansup @pixelfed Sorry Dan, i know your last days was difficult... Do you know how many time i have to wait for the completed last import wich has been stoped on my pixelfed account ? For several days, the import page is now empty while i have already imported 224 post, and the last 76 are in standby. i imagine we are a lot of people trying to import from IG, and i hope you can solve it soon. thx for you all work for the community !
@pixelfed I had 57 posts that were stuck in the import queue for a couple of days, but now they were properly imported. However, if I try to import Instagram posts from august 2021 and beyond they do not appear in the pixelfed import page. I've already looked in the Instagram json file and everything seems alright (I also have already tried to change the blank caption in the json file to see if it works). Only posts from 2018 to july 2021 appear in the import queue. Someone with the same issue?
