Import user data and progress from public instance?

[cordlord]

I see there is a way to export my user data from the public instance. Is there a way to import that to my new self-hosted instance?

If you export the data in the JSON format, you could indeed (manually) add it to the database of your self-hosted instance. The JSON documents in the export directly match the JSON documents in the corresponding collections of the database.

There is no automatic way of importing provided by Habitica, as far as I know. It should be relatively easy, however, to create a script that adds the documents from the export to the corresponding collections of a MongoDB.
