EBValkyrie Greetings! Is anyone about who might be able to help me with an h-card problem and joining the IndieWeb Ring?

# EBValkyrie OK, I got the webring thing fixed. If I can't figure out the h-card, I'll check back in later. Have a good day, everyone!

[TMichelleMoore] @EBValkyrie Hello! Not sure what stage you in but here is a reference https://indieweb.org/h-card and use this to validate - https://indiewebify.me. Let us know…

[John_Eckman] Anyone know of a scripted approach for importing Instagram download into WordPress? It’s a json file and seems well-enough structured, but I’d hate to reinvent the wheel if someone’s already done it.
# [John_Eckman] I found someone doing it via a CVS import plugin ( https://www.main-vision.com/richard/blog/how-to-migrate-from-instagram-to-wordpress/ ) and someone else with a MacOS shortcut ( https://jordanmerrick.com/shortcuts/instagram-to-wordpress/ ) - probably a doable thing to make a wp-cli command but I wonder if anyone’s already done it
# [John_Eckman] Moving an archive, that is, not an ongoing PESOS approach

[chrisaldrich] What is Instagram?
# 
Loqi Instagram is a popular photo and short video hosting silo most well known for square photos that have been processed with an image filter https://indieweb.org/Instagram
# [chrisaldrich] [John_Eckman] there are a few (including WordPress-specific) tools on that page ^^ which I've heard of, but not previously tried
# [chrisaldrich] one of them even does a wxr-file...
# [John_Eckman] Thanks - this one ( https://github.com/artlung/InstalooterToWordPress ) seems promising, though it was based on a different data extract I think (the Instalooter one)
# [chrisaldrich] I've not seen him around here in a bit, but his work has generally been solid in the past. artlung++
# [John_Eckman] otherwise they generally look to be designed to hit the API live as opposed to a data dump export the Insta folks now make available. I may be able to code it myself and share if I can find the time - it doesn’t look too complex
# [chrisaldrich] too often the sort of solutions you're looking for tend to only pop up at a services' end of life (the boat's going down, exit rapidly and save what you can) as most people want the ongoing sync of posts

# [Joe_Crawford] Funny enough I have not touched instalooter in a while but it’s been very useful to me. IG is a moving target for the developers but it works well. Feel free to call me out here it or in github. :)
# [John_Eckman] Thanks, will do. Not sure if the best approach is to move the Instagram json into a WXR file or just loop through the json itself in a wp-cli command, creating posts as you go and skipping the wxr step
# [John_Eckman] either way I’m sure the code you pointed to will be useful guidance
