Nice to see some @pixelfed coverage on CNET. Not only that, the article provides step-by-step instructions on how to export everything from Instagram and import it into Pixelfed. 👏

@jon @pixelfed

Important point included in the article -- the emails they send with a "download" button do not work (at least not for me and the cnet author).

I'm trying the steps he found did work (return to the web page and he saw a download button -- I'm still waiting for it to show up).

@maj @pixelfed

I'm mentioning @jeffcarlson in this reply so he can hopefully see your previous post about the issue you found in his Pixelfed article.

@jon @pixelfed @jeffcarlson

Just to clarify: HE confirmed there was an issue with the email getting sent out by meta (I thought maybe it was just me) and suggested an alternative, which worked!

So thanks, Jeff!

Ahh, sorry. I was moving too fast and misunderstood.

@jon @maj @pixelfed Yeah I thought I was going crazy because that email wasn’t working. Then realized it was easier to just go back to the source for that download button.

Thanks for the boosts!

@jeffcarlson @jon @pixelfed Clicking a button that is not a button is weirdly disorientating.

I tried 3 times with different configurations (e.g. limiting the info by type/date, etc.) with no luck. It did take overnight before the button showed up back on the page, but then it did!

But now all my Caturday, Food, and Selfies from stories are safely on Flickr:
