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

It's not postdating. OP is talking about preserving dates from another platform, even if it means manually editing.

And that would set dates in the past, to match the dates from original publications on instagram, wouldn't it ?

Ah I see what happened here. We are talking about the same thing, but "postdate" means just the opposite. It's setting a date in the future, not past. That would be "backdate."
