We have a community that uses Discourse. We want to switch to Forem. How can I transfer our data from Discourse to Forem?

We currently do not have any way for users to transfer data into a Forem from another community software. If you set the Forem up yourself then you could do it but at the moment there is no tooling in place that we offer.

How do we install it ourselves? Are there any documents?

We don't currently have any production installation documentation as we are still working on that ourselves. We do however have docs for general development installation.

@molly you mentioned it is possible if we set up Forem ourselves. Are there any documents for doing a migration? I'm in a similar situation as others of needing to migrate from discource to Forem but so far haven't been able to find any information on how to migrate and/or import into Forem.

Hey Paul! I no longer work at Forem so I am unsure about the answer to your question but @peter or @ben might be able to point you in the right direction.
