Iβve just successfully exported 4453 posts from my Micro.blog hosted blog and imported them into a Day One journal using the macOS Micro.blog app.
The whole process took about 3 hours, most of which was taken up by the downloading of all the blog images.
The Day One journal entries look very good - much better than a lot of those I have been crossposting from Micro.blog to Day One using IFTTT. They would often lose some formatting and only import one image from multi-image posts.
I paused the Day One sync service during the import process - now Iβm just dreading turning it back on. I know itβs going to take a very long time to upload all these posts and images to the Day One servers and while the process is underway my (already poor) broadband service is going to slow to a crawl.
Now I just need a way to incrementally export new posts from my blog to Day One. Iβd rather not go through the process of exporting and importing thousands of posts each time!

@TheDimPause thatβs a neat idea. One unanticipated effect for me using Day One was that I was less compelled to use social media. I captured everything in my journal and didnβt need to share it with the world.
