Too late assholes... I'm already deleting most of the posts I made on my discord and I will be migrating elsewhere soon.

I just imported a server with bridge.

Every messages in your server's entire history, or just the channel layout?

I know the Mautrix bridge can create the channels for you, but their backfill feature was not designed for full archival, it can't really do that.

I didn't have a problem doing it. It took a while but it was fine. Some of the channels needed a little help, but it was just a matter of reconnecting them. Our server has been around for years too. Going to do an extra backup, but it was fine.

So it was all of your messages?

Can you explain what bridge you used and how you got the whole history moved over?

The bridge is the same one mentioned in the other link!

Yes, somewhere in the set up you need to set the import limit to -1 iirc then message the bot to import the whole thing, then once a message gets sent in each channel it populates.
