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 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 :-)

@pixelfed @dansup Sorry, my last import of 100 post has been done with only 24 of the 100 post. And today the import page don't show the first 200 well imported post, and neither the 76 remiaining import in a red bubble. Does it mean that i have to wait or ask again for the last import ?

@jybirker @pixelfed Give it some time, they will be imported properly!

@dansup @pixelfed Sorry Dan, i know your last days was difficult... :blobcatheart: 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 ! 🙏

@dansup @pixelfed Sorry Dan, we have no news about the last interrupted import from IG archive... do you know how many time we have to wait ?? I 'm waiting in order to import my last 800 post to import... thx.

@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?

@pixelfed came here to report the same issue others are having-- for a while now I haven't been able to import any posts past new years eve 2021, and when attempting to re-upload the zip it doesn't display any new images to import. Any word on how far along you guys are in fixing this? (50k is a lot, so I understand why it's not quite resolved yet, but a peek under the hood would be reassuring)
