I want to migrate my photos from instagram to pixelfed. Is it possible to modify post addition date? Or only way is to self host own instance and modify on database?

If it the only way, I would be happy to donate to existing one and ask admins to change dates… I dont see the point of creating new one

When I migrated to Pixelfed, I imported a backup that was exported from Instagram. It correctly read all the data and the imported posts had the correct original date and captions and everything. Looking at my profile now on pixelfed.social, the import is disabled by admin. So maybe there's an instance that has the import enabled.
