@boris 👍 It's a good idea to import them in batches when you have that many photos, so you can more easily track the progress and check that the new posts look good. Let me know if you run into any problems!

I discovered yesterday that the @MicroDotBlog desktop MacOS app has support for importing a data export of your Instagram account.

I’m working my way through importing a chunk of photos at a time. Instagram was iOS only, so my account starts with my first iPhone.

@manton yep it’s been working great, thank you!

Just doing 10 or 20 at a time, and then refreshing MarsEdit and doing any tweaks.

Main slow down is nostalgia from looking through old photos!
