Import functionality [edit: solved!]

Will the import feature be enabled at some point? I want to migrate my photos over, would be good to use the import function for that ๐Ÿ™

I believe it (instagram import) is enabled already, what are you seeing when you try to use it?

I see this when I go to https://pixelfed.ca/settings/import

The help centre page says it's only enabled for admins: https://pixelfed.ca/site/kb/import

Can you check it again (or rather, once your account has been active for 24 hours).

This is what we have in the settings, so I think that help page is saying "Only Admins?: false"

I'm also curious what the process is like, since it is marked as experimental. I'll see if I can run a test later, since I haven't seen anyone try it and share their experience with it yet

I've tried the import function as well, but it doesn't seem to have moved since I uploaded my .zip file! It's been stuck here for a few hours.

Yeah mines been like that for a day also. I had the same experience with importing on pixelfed.social. It took a few days. Maybe thereโ€™s a big queue.
