Imagine being locked in a small cell, cut off from meaningful human contact, sunlight, even for years. This is the grim reality for at least 122,000 people each day across the U.S. in solitary confinement.
Solitary isolates individuals for up to 24 hours a day, inflicting profound harm. Recognized as a form of torture, solitary confinement remains pervasive in U.S. prisons. Here's how bad the situation is, and moreover, how we end this form of torture.

Many Pixelfed servers have an Instagram import feature that lets you import a certain amount of Instagram posts into Pixelfed. However, due to the unprecedented numbers of new people joining Pixelfed recently, a lot of Pixelfed servers have temporarily switched off the import feature as it uses a lot of server resources.
Keep in mind that almost all Pixelfed servers (like almost all Fediverse servers) are run by volunteers who personally pay the costs of the server, they don't run ads or sell people's data. They may simply not have enough money to enable the import feature when so many people are joining. You can help your server cope with the influx by donating to the person who runs it, you can ask your server admin how to donate.
If it's unclear when importing might be switched on, you can perhaps ask your server admin about it. This is especially easy to do on smaller servers.
Also note that if you do want to import your Instagram account, make sure you have downloaded the JSON archive from Instagram. Do NOT use the HTML archive, it won't work.
@Pixelfed Unofficial Help I know you might not have the knowledge, but have you thought making your pixelfed posts more insta-like? Like, you can create multiple pics with one sentence on each of them, and have the user swipe through them. I think it would look cleaner in a way :D
You could do something like:
Pic. 1:
A white background with the text having the color of your choice: Wanna import your account on Pixelfed?
Then a screenshot neatly framed below the text and an arrow to the side of the screenshot pointing to the right, indicating there are multiple other pics if the user is interested.
Pic. 2:
A pic with the white background and the text having the same color as on pic. 1 with the text:
Step 1: do this
Pic. 3:
Same as pic. 2:
Step 2: do that
And so on for the next pictures, probably with some screenshots as on Pic. 1 if needed, resized and/or cropped, but in a way that the text/content is still legible to the users.
What do you think? :D
(also pinging @Fedi.Tips for visibility of my comment) :D
Thanks for the feedback! 🙏
It's tricky because although I set up the account to help Pixelfed users, for some reason most of my followers on the account are on Mastodon 😆
So... still not sure whether to format it in an Insta kind of way, or in a more traditional social media kind of way, because the way the posts are displayed depends on where people are following me from.
This is new to me, I will try to experiment, thank you so much for the detailed suggestions 😃

On the Danish island of Bornholm, farmer Knud Andersen have cancelled his agreement to host American cruise ship tourists on his farm, which he has been doing 15 times every year.
In a post on Facebook Mr Andersen explains that American tourists are no longer welcome, because Donald Trump's statements about Denmark are "completely unacceptable" and "we will not open our doors to that kind of an attitude."

as an #american, i encourage #canada, #mexico, #panama, #denmark, etc to put the biggest middle finger up to any and all #americans and #usa interests as you can
we deserve it
my only hope is #america can try to begin to recover some good will in 4 years time
but that's a long way away
for now, the hell is just starting
and to minimize the hell you need to push back on #trump bullshit as loudly and as forcefully as you can
show the spirit and brains too many americans lack
I don’t ordinarily boost a post from someone I don’t follow and have vetted. And not thrilled with boosting into a bsky account that’s bridged to Fediverse. But I do generally take Popehat @Popehat
seriously so his boost today of Nicholas Grossman post in bsky is worth a read.

Hi Frank, welcome 👋
Feel free to ask if you want help with using this place, and there is also lots of help for new people on the website at fedi.tips (especially the Quick Start section at the top).
I think c0c0bird was suggesting you could add an "alt text" description to your photo. A lot of people do that on here as it helps blind people know what is in a post. When you post a photo, there is an option for adding a description 🙂

"The demand for more Innovation (and sometimes even the request for more research) has become a way to legitimize not doing anything. A way to say "the unpleasant solutions we have are not perfect but in the future there might be a magic solution that doesn't bother us and everyone gets a fucking unicorn"."

The headline is of course a bit of a provocation. Not all Innovation is a distraction, there are many areas in which meaningful work happens any day to generate some form of relevant new product or process or technology.tante (Smashing Frames)
