Micro.blog can now import blog posts from Medium. You can request a .zip archive of your content from Medium.com, then go to Posts → Import on Micro.blog to upload the file.
Because Medium no longer supports custom domain names, we don’t think it’s a good long-term solution for blogging. If you still want to reach your Medium followers, you can enable cross-posting from any blog to Medium in Micro.blog by clicking Account → “Edit Feeds & Cross-posting”.
Micro.blog does a few things to make transitioning from Medium to Micro.blog hosting easier. Just like the WordPress to Micro.blog import, it automatically downloads any photos referenced in your posts and stores them on Micro.blog. It also cleans up the posts a little, while preserving most of the original HTML. Of course it also sets post titles and published dates.
Avanceé.Agency oh this is cool; almost to the point of moving the personal blog here (this is technically the professional one). Very nice update
Blair MacIntyre excellent! I left Medium a whole ago, nice to see I can pull my left over content over here if I want
Brad Enslen Excellent! I can't help but think that the more importers you have from other blog systems (ie. Blogger, Medium, Facebook, Tumbler) the more Micro.blog has to gain. It strikes me as a good strategy, especially if these importers are fairly easy to code.
Smokey Ardisson The pair of Medium importer + cross-post to Medium seems like a great solution for anyone who wants to stop working for Medium but still get some value from readership there.
Also, you’ve been on fire lately with all of these new features 👍🔥
Khaled Abou Alfa @smokey totally agree. It’s been a great start to the year for all the things :)
