#PixelFed question: I finally was able to upgrade to the version with the #Instagram import that I have been awaiting for several years! 🥳

Now I exported my Instagram archive in JSON format, fed it to Pixelfed, selected 100 posts to import, and now they show as a number of "Processing Imported Posts" that doesn't decrease.

Am I missing something? Is there another background task to run beside the horizon supervisor?

#Help
Answering my own question: There are indeed scheduled tasks that aren't handled by Horizon/Queue Worker.

The command to perform them that should be ran every minute is the following:
php artisan schedule:run
