Hi all actually it’s been on my head few times I am wondering is there any public dataset of Discourse site that can be used? similar like FakerPress – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org or WP Dummy Post Generator – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org on wordpress so it’s like using real dataset when developing a plugin

A long while ago, I think @sam had given someone such a sample data set that they were going to anonymize, but I can’t figure out how to search for it.

Ha! I had the same problem finding the topic. It’s How Sam's Windows development environment is configured - #7 by sam. We’ll need to wait for Sam to confirm what happened…

When I was developing the print function, I changed this file discourse/script/user_simulator.rb at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub for my needs.

ok thanks I think I can follow what @Falco does

Is there any fake data to be used to test a plugin?

I recall @elijah started working on the sanitized export but do not think this ever got finished.
