That's awesome, congrats Pixelfed team!
The next thing I'd like to see is a way to make it ongoing - specifically I'd like to have a automatically updated backup of my wife's Instagram account. She posts a lot of things that are relevant to our family, and it'd be nice to know we'll still have it even if something were to happen to her account.
It also sounds like Stories are not currently imported. That makes sense for a one-time import since they are meant to be ephemeral, but for an ongoing importer/backup, it would be nice to capture those as well.

Instaloader is pretty good for backing up Instagram accounts but it's easy to trigger Instagram's anti-bot protections using it. I use a secondary account to avoid locking out my main and even then it took ~4 days to download my 9k posts because of the lockouts and rate-limiting. But once you've got the main bulk down, you can run it once a day to fill in anything new and that's pretty reliable.
- nfriedly 3y agoThanks, I'll try that out.
