Ripping the band aid off

Soo...
As some of you know I have been primarily uploading my art on deviantART since 2005. I originally wanted it to be my art archive, but seeing how dA has shit the bed (for the 500th time), this time with their stance on AI (or lack of against it, therefore), I decided to abandon ship set up camp here instead.
The community is much nicer here, anyway.
Which means there are a lot, and I mean A LOT of artworks to be transfered. About 730 submissions, and there is more stashed away on my HD, stuff I never submitted or re-submitted when I sometimes changed usernames and moved.
I want to get all of it on here, but how do I go about it? Do I swifty upload them in one quick swoop (especially the older works pre 2008 because a lot of them are hmmm 'subpar' since they are old lol)? Or do I upload a piece every now and then?
I guess I will try to upload as much old work as I can tomorrow morning before work (and the following days), which is hopefully a time most people are asleep.
I don't want to spam inboxes or the Recent Submissions, for that matter, and I guess it's better I do it now while I still have almost no watchers vs when there are more people who's inbox will get flooded.
So yeah prepare, the flood is coming.
Edit: oh yeah, it's totally fair to unwatch me until I have caught up to more recent works if you wanna avoid spam or old works

I just want to archive the really old stuff quickly because it's frankly not uhh as visually appealing as the newer art haha, but since I want to make this account here my archive now I would like to have a complete transfer of the artworks!
Definitely going to do it in the EU-zone morning hours!
I'll probably do it in batches as Sidian up there suggested!
I checked out the rules to see what FA says about it but appearently there is nothing against submission spam as long as the submissions have artistic merrit and aren't duplicates, so I should be fine!
I'll be doing 20-30 a day for now, at least until the super old art is submitted, then I will probably slow down considerably.
