Hey people, looking to migrate from Xenforo 2.3 to Discourse. I need to be careful of this process and wanted to ask a few questions before giving it a shot. I did a few searches about migrating from XF here before posting, but most threads were a few years old. I didn’t actually see any official migration documenation.

1. Is there an official migration tool for XF built-in Discourse?
2. If there is any migration tool available, what does and does not get migrated?
3. Required software? I’m using AlmaLinux 8x (cPanel server) with LiteSpeed.
4. What happens to things like private messages, passwords, banned emails?

Thanks in advance.
