<p dir="auto">I was wondering whether fiddling around with the data from the planet .osn, where the very first comment still exists, albeit with the <code class="notranslate">username="user_<uid>"</code> and creating another "first" comment that copies that content was something that would speed up that process, but I guess the migration process you described would be hampered by such an action, correct?</p>
