👨‍💻 Downloading the sticker spotter archive from Micro.blog. Will then try to upload said archive back to Micro.blog. Had to go back to the macOS side, since there’s no way to export/import without the app. No way to do it from a browser. Anyway, it should take a while.

@maique Why are you first downloading it to later re-upload it? I guess you have some masterplan. Switching to another url?

@ndreas Yeah, shutting down the sticker spotter account, stickers are now posted here, on the main account. Started a week or so ago, but would love to bring the old ones over. There's no other way to go about it.

@maique you can export from the web. In the posts page, click on the three dotted icon after your blog url and go to export.

@pcora Oh!! Really? I did get the instruction from the help desk, so assumed that was not a thing. Thanks...

@maique Well, I see the option there. Maybe different formats? I'll install the app to check.

@pcora No need, thanks. I think I see the same format. Maybe the app is more reliable, since we're talking over a 1000 photos...

@maique I checked anyways. It seems that there are more formats. That is a large export! Good luck!

@pcora It is a big one. I'd say I'm about 75% done with exporting. Fingers crossed I can do this before it's time to leave...

@maique @pcora I did this with my photoblog which was also on Micro.blog last year. IIRC, it worked better using the Mac app. The import was smoother.

@pratik Thanks. It’s now, hopefully, importing. Strange thing, my blog’s URL on the Mac app (I never use it) was still the old domain. It’s been years since I’ve used it. I logged off, back on, still not the new one.

Anyway, a few more hours, fingers crossed it works. @pcora
