Is there any public instance, where I could use function “import from instagram”?

Im looking for general instance, preferably hosted in Europe

I am working on a new platform that allows import from facebook/instagram. This is a hard technical problem for the fediverse because you have to balance importing with not spamming everyone with those imports. It is an important feature though, and it's rather shocking that little to no fediverse platforms are utilizing the GDPR exports to their advantage.

Another platform? Isnt Pixelfed / Monnett enough? ;)

In the end I thought that I will just set up new own Pixelfed instance, and I will import everything and fix dates if needed

Gram.social is a good one, hosted in Germany with thebimpoet feature available. Its the largest server in Europe. And second largest from the instances according to pixelfed.org/servers

Cant import? I'm not an Instagram user but as far as I'm aware there is an option to do that at settings > import > Import from Instagram (hit the import button)

Yes, I tried that and I get an error.

Maybe ig changed structure of the files

That might be the thing; maybe others on this wonderful platform can help you further.
