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

Im looking for general instance, preferably hosted in Europe

    What I am building is more of a Facebook competitor than an Instagram competitor. If all you need is an Instagram like platform, then pixelfed should be fine.

                @lovingisliving Well I have but my family aren’t massive social media users so its pretty lightweight activity. I guess my experience is that friendica has a lot of features in there - I like groups and events myself but also I found myself looking at how one account can manage another - I thin this would be great for parent/child accounts - perhaps it might need a few more controls around what the child account can/cannot do …

                I’m actually not far from creating another friendica instance just as a ‘trial’ server for people I know who want to try it out.

                I wish I was more capable in taking ideas for features that I would find useful and turning them into deliverable things. I’m a Business Analyst so I can define the requirements but I need some dev friends to help me out doing the delivery.

            It’s almost too many to list, but off the top of my head:

            • General “jank”, from how community search works to how events work. It’s massive technical debt that is more work to fix than it would be to just start over.
            • Lack of professional branding or vision. It looks like it is run by some random people on the Internet rather than an actual group that has a plan or vision.
            • UI is extremely outdated and unintuitive

            I also have an idea of how I think the platform should work at a fundamental level that is different from how friendica approaches things.
