How to Move Your Instagram Feed to Pixelfed, the Photo App That Doesn't Track Your Every Move

cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/3228570

Pixelfed got featured on the Wired and here’s what @dansup, the author of @pixelfed, says:

All those long nights working on backend scalability and performance improvements are about to be put to the test

I wasn’t anticipating this attention for a few more months, but I’m ready 😎

signofzeta,

Awesome! Now, if only I could move my Mastodon toots or PixelFed photos to another server. Sure, I can redirect my accounts, but then I’m stuck with the old content on another feed.

bretti_kivi,

Thanks for this, registered on the .de site and the app seems to work. Now to post some photos…

darkkite,

I am fairly certain they do.

PhictionalOne,

The backend capabilities are there. The front end for the Web view must be enabled by the admin and the mobile apps currently lack the feature.

tinker,

Yes. Scroll to the end pixelfed.org/features

Has this actually worked for anyone? I click on Review Uploads and the website either crashed or nothing happens.

Pixelfed for iOS (Beta) still refuses to upload any of my photos from my iPhone.

@bady i haven’t used instagram in some years, it i still have a lot of photos and memories saved there from way back when. i might do this…

dreamfall,

Kbin/Lemmy is the only Fediverse thing I've been able to get into...Mastodon and Pixelfed just don't have the things/people I want to follow. I only use Mastodon here and there thanks to the bird.makeup instance which clones people's twitter accounts. If I didn't...that feed would be a ghost town...Is there one that clones Instagram for Pixelfed?

TaleOfSammy,

Defo check out firefish.social if you’re not into Mastodon. It’s got a lot of lovely features I wanted out of other mastodon apps.

macallik,

Yeah. Firefish is to Mastodon what Kbin is to Lemmy

dreamfall,

Cool, thanks for the info!

RinseDrizzle,

Is there an android app?

Yes, but it isn't on f-droid or google play.

The apps are listed on the official website. The official app is in public beta, but I hope it gets a public release soon. You can follow @pixelfed on mastodon for updates. There are also 3rd party apps, but I haven’t tried any.

ashtrix,

Hope this gets Pixelfed the attention it deserves. The app has improved so much in the last few months.
