I migrated my previous forum to a Discourse forum yesterday. At the moment, no topics appear under the ‘Top’ category. Does it require a certain amount of time to calculate the top topics?

Yes, it’s an automated job. It should happen once an hour or so.

I believe I saw this once, but can we configure the ‘top’ category to show “today” by default rather than yearly? — Because only the ‘today’ filter gives topics, none of the others.

Yes, you can choose “daily” in the “top page default timeframe” setting in admin.
