Description

Description:

When I import messages from Slack, imported reactions show empty and/or null names of its authors unless I change reactions

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Import Slack messages with reactions
  2. Mouseover reaction
  3. Empty and/or null names are present
  4. Add a reaction myself
  5. Reaction authors' names are now present
Expected behavior:

Names of authors of reactions are available directly after import

Actual behavior:
