205.Dl ./honk import username honk source-directory
206.Pp
207To prepare a Mastodon data archive, extract the archive-longhash.tar.gz file.
208.Dl ./honk import username mastodon source-directory
209.Pp
210To prepare a Twitter data archive, extract the twitter-longhash.zip file.
211After unzipping the data archive, navigate to the tweet_media directory
212and unzip any zip files contained within.
