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

There's already a feature request for that: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/2871

So far, I only know of GotoSocial that allows backdating new posts. And it even has a "gallery" theme that you can set as default to get something remotely similar to Pixelfed.

    Manually backdating is one thing, but importing them from Instagram with the original timestamp is a different. That's why #2871 is still open and #4558 was closed as "not planned", I guess.
