I think they're using OAuth to connect the accounts, and I believe Meta requires developers click through some agreement to do that.

The neat thing is that it unzips the file locally and only uploads the posts you select, which Dansup says helped get around very large instagram archives and also means you don't have to worry about posts you don't want imported being sent to the pixelfed server.
