I'd love to be able to set a Category for the incoming Toots as they currently all just get added to the default Uncategorized category. It would be easy to find all my Toots then.

Same remarks as here: https://github.com/janboddez/import-from-pixelfed/pull/6.

It's technically possible to set a post category, and I'm looking into adding it as a proper setting, but it may be incompatible with custom post types (for which taxonomies, like category, are not automatically set). In fact, CPTs might have completely different taxonomies.

I will probably simply remove the CPT setting (users "advanced" enough to be using CPTs will have to use a filter callback, then), and assume "normal" posts. And add a dropdown through which a single category can be set, which will then be applied for all imports.

The filter hook + a custom functions.php snippet can of course still be used to override the default behavior (to set more than one default category, for instance).

Current version ("0.3.0," but I don't really do proper releases, at least not yet) contains the ability to select a post category. Also means I've for now removed the post type option.

(A custom post type can still be set [and the default category unset], should one wish to do so, using the import_from_mastodon_args hook.)
