Servers that still allow IG import? (sopuli.xyz)

After searching around for answers to which server I should join, I came to the conclusion it didn't matter much. It seems I was incorrect, however, as pixelfed.social, the server I eventually chose, currently has IG imports disabled. This is an issue, as that was basically my while reason for joining, to migrate from IG.

So my question is, where should I go now?

I tried signing up, but cannot receive my confirmation email. I know it's unfair to judge, but I'm pretty "online" compared to your average Instagram user. If me joining pixelfed is a multi-day, multifaceted challenge, the platform stands no chance to attract your ordinary user. I cannot emphasize enough how nonnegotiable a seamless migration from IG to pixelfed needs to be.
