Super happy with my Pixelfed experience overall and have provided some humble support to the project.
However, I've tried several times to import my photos from my old Instagram account (instagram.com/ralphtater/) to my new Pixelfed account (ralphtater@pixelfed.social), and while the bulk of them have come over beautifully, I'm still missing about 28 posts out of 205.
It's only a handful and not a huge loss, but I am curious why these posts won't import. I have not been able to identify a common factor (they're not all one file type - some are photos, some are videos). Any idea what's going on or suggestions for what I could try?
Thank you for your work!
It (mostly) worked! I need to go back and figure out which photos didn't import, but there's now a substantial volume of classic Ralph 1.0 content over at his new home on Pixelfed:
pixelfed.social/ralphtater
And if you want to follow along for night photography, travel pics, and that sort of thing, I've created a separate account here:

Woo hoo! Pixelfed.social (Instagram alternative) has re-enabled the ability to import all your old Instagram posts!
Here's how:

I have been trying to keep all the tips, tricks, and resources that I think would be useful for folks migrating from Facebook and Instagram (as well as current Bluesky users) in one place:

I also created a separate resource list specific to Friendica:
