State of disqus to discourse importer

[Quintin_Par]

I am trying to migrate my comments from disqus to discourse and came across these comments
https://meta.discourse.org/t/migrating-from-disqus-to-discourse-for-static-blog-comments/19947/22?u=quintin_par
I couldn’t find the importer at
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/lib/tasks/disqus.thor
Those posts were in 2014 and the last topic on this is 2016 if I am not wrong
https://meta.discourse.org/t/disqus-import-script/38750

Is the importer still active?

Glancing at it, it doesn’t support uploads, avatars, or 301 redirects. It puts everything in a single category (perhaps that’s how Discus works).

Is this how I should setup the dev environment?

I am a bit surprised here because comments like this

Import Wordpress comments through Disqus

Hi, I try to migrate my WordPress comments to Discourse. I’ve read a lot about that, and I saw I need to transit my comments through Disqus to do that, because imports script don’t work with WP at this time. I’ve installed Discourse with DigitalOcean and the 30 min install. Well, inspired by this tutorial, I’ve tried to import my xml from Disqus. First : $ RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec thor disqus:import --file=irz.xml --post-as=disqus --dry-run Could not find command "disqus:import". Ok…
