Then the issue has to do with it not reading the post data.

My guess is that it’s here and for some reason it’s not finding the posts.

```plaintext
    def posts(offset = 0, page_size = 2000)
      post_keys = mongo.find(_key: "posts:pid").skip(offset).limit(page_size).pluck(:value)

      post_keys.map { |post_key| post(post_key) }
    end

```

I’m a live person who has made a living supporting Discourse for a decade and has written a bunch of importers and imported over a hundred forums from various other platforms.
