Glad to hear the community information will be exported, owned, and searchable here.
I’m still hoping that openbook.social will come around and provide a good unified mobile/desktop interface. There are like 15 different “Discourse” Forums now surrounding the maker scene.
@mcdanlj needs to run the import to bring the data into discourse. I will ask him when he can get it done by. The process works as he has successfully brought in the Hurculein community this morning.
I’m testing with smaller communities first. We just got HercuLien imported this morning. I want to make sure that there aren’t additional important bugs to fix in the importer before pulling in the very large 3D Printing community.
That import might take something like a week to run to completion. I’ll import 1000 posts per import session.
So please look through the Herculien posts to see how things look!
Currently, not. I have a complete import as of a few days ago. The import process takes about 15 hours to run. Note that it will be a point-in-time import, so it won’t have newer posts or comments after the import ran, and there won’t be incremental import of the last few weeks of Google+ posts and comments.
There shouldn’t be really any additional posts past this point anyhow, since I put a notice on the community that it was shutting down and pointed people to multiple other social media sites
