Describe the feature you'd like

I have a rather large local copy of many websites that I've pulled into my local HamsterBase data store using SingleFile. I'd love to be able to pull all of that into karakeep.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Hoarder users

While HamsterBase doesn't have a huge data storage/link saving following, I would wager a guess that there are other Karakeep users like me who feel that Karakeep is a better system since it easily integrates other link sources as well (RSS, etc.) and would possibly be more eager to move to Karakeep if they could import their existing HamsterBase data.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

I think I could export a URL list in HamsterBase and possibly import that, but any sites which are no longer available (only locally stored in HamsterBase) would be lost.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request
