Any public Pixelfed instance that allows Instagram import?
Is there any public instance, where I could use function “import from instagram”?
Im looking for general instance, preferably hosted in Europe

In the end I thought that I will just set up new own Pixelfed instance, and I will import everything and fix dates if needed

in reply to lovingisliving • •What specifically were the issues that you ran into?
Improving it - that's alot less work than recreating something from scratch.

in reply to abeorch • • •It's almost too many to list, but off the top of my head:
- General "jank", from how community search works to how events work. It's massive technical debt that is more work to fix than it would be to just start over.
- Lack of professional branding or vision. It looks like it is run by some random people on the Internet rather than an actual group that has a plan or vision.
- UI is extremely outdated and unintuitive
I also have an idea of how I think the platform should work at a fundamental level that is different from how friendica approaches things.

in reply to lovingisliving • •Well I have but my family aren't massive social media users so its pretty lightweight activity. I guess my experience is that friendica has a lot of features in there - I like groups and events myself but also I found myself looking at how one account can manage another - I thin this would be great for parent/child accounts - perhaps it might need a few more controls around what the child account can/cannot do ..
I'm actually not far from creating another friendica instance just as a 'trial' server for people I know who want to try it out.
I wish I was more capable in taking ideas for features that I would find useful and turning them into deliverable things. I'm a Business Analyst so I can define the requirements but I need some dev friends to help me out doing the delivery.

in reply to Kkk2237pl • •Can I suggest that success here is modifying and building on existing tools that work with other existing tools and making them work better.
For example - I found git.sr.ht/~cloutier/dotmakeup #dotmakeup by @Vincent Cloutier - which can pull instagram and twitter posts and syndicate them. #Friendica has add on that post to Twitter - so my thinking is that adding #dotmakup tools into Friendica would help allow users to migrate to Friendica while maintaining connections via Twitter and Instagram
Dropping back a bit Friendica works really well on #Yunohost - making #Yunohost easier to run on a homerouter as a drop in replacement for ISP supplied routers would mean that it would be easier for people to buy a bit of kit, take it home , turn it on , have their own ActivityPub server running fairly quickly and be linked into those existing communities (both ActivityPub and commercial)
