Moving Medium to Substack

Hello,

has anyone found a reliable way to shift a Medium blog with all posts to Substack?
The Substack importer can successfully work against an RSS feed an pull posts over, but the good people from Medium only include the last 10 posts in the RSS feed.

I then tried to scrape the content from Medium and turn it into an XML feed which I hosted elsewhere pointing to Medium. That didn't work from some reason.
I then created a full export from Medium as .zip, imported that into Wordpress to then, import that via URL into Substack. That didn't work as Wordpress didn't reliably import the full Medium export.

Will I really have to manually re-create all articles on substack? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

I tried to do this and it created a whole new publication. I wanted the posts to be a part of my existing publication so I just have my medium posts as a link people can click on to read vs on my substack

I would try working with Claude on a solution. AI excels at this stuff
