Is there a bridge to migrate #instragram content to #nostr so that it’s easy for people to bring their stuff over (like there is for x)? #asknostr So many friends and creators will find friction if they can’t bring over the content they have lovingly posted to create their feed over the years. Know many people that view instagram like their album of life. Sooooo looking forwards to bring them over to #grownostr 🔥

Yeah that'd be a great tool to have. I'm not familiar with FB's API offerings but after a quick search it looks like you might be able to build a bridge for Business/Creator accounts for continuous use but seems FB locks down a lot of the normie user data. I think you'd have to make the user do a data backup then import that backup zip to a conversion site to generate the posts from old data. Seems feasible though!

Oh how i wish i were a dev 😭🙃 Hopefully somebody find the utility worth the hassle at some point. I’m sure it might help people migrate away from insta if they can take their baggage with them :) Thanks for looking into it anyway :)

No, screw asking for permission. I think it's possible to find media URLs and save them like indown.io does. Otherwise, look into Apify to use an Instagram scraper. Are you down to build something like this?

I have to admit it wasnt front of mind for me but I can see the value to hopefully bring more creators over. If no one else builds it and I hear many people requesting I'd definitely be down to give it a look though.
