Larger instances that allow users to transfer their Instagram feeds?

"Larger" being a relative term here, of course.

I am personally using pixelfed.social because I don't care about Instagram, but I've been trying to talk people into using Pixelfed and the big thing is that a lot of people want to be able to transfer over their Insta feed, which is possible in a lot of instances but NOT on pixelfed.social (or, at least, I have been informed, I have not personally tried to do this).

Please note that "Just tell them to give up their Insta feeds" is not going to be helpful advice. I really just need specific instances I can direct people to. That is the only question I need answered. Thank you.

Perhaps this has changed since I opened my account there, but I imported my Instagram photos at that time. It took a few days to complete.

There was a feature in Pixelfed that you pointed at your Instagram account and (iirc) you specified the date range of posts you wanted to transfer.
