We're working on a FEP for ephemeral Stories in @PixelFed

But will there be a "highlights" section? I mean, stories that we can keep on the account and make cute covers? If so, will it also be possible to import the ones that already exist on Instagram?

@jbarsant @dansup @PixelFed i think it's possible or even really the meta-default to have them be kept and given a cover -- the expiration is built on top of that. there's definitely room to tweak the design of the feature as well, so it's not like they have to end up exactly like instagram or snapchat.
as far as importing existing ones from instagram, that depends on whether instagram includes them in exported archives, and whether they're in a format that's easily convertible. so maybe not?

I got it. Thank you for the reply.
So... I hope a highlights section will be implemented, since it's possible. About the case we can't import the existing ones from Instagram, that's okay. We can find a way, even if we do it manually, the important thing is to have the space.
