The problem with the characters from Destiny 1
I stopped playing Destiny 1 after Destiny 2 came out. After a long time, I wanted to get back into the game. I installed Destiny 2 on PC and linked my Steam account when I logged in. I later regained access to my PSN account and was able to log into Bangie's account. Unfortunately, without fully understanding the new cross-platform play rules, I ended up with two Destiny accounts.
The first is the one I played on before The Taking King DLC, and the second is the one I recently started playing on.
Ultimately, I decided the best idea would be to link my old PSN to the new account, but for some reason, my PlayStation characters just aren't showing up, as if they'd been erased.
I've been playing since the game's launch on PlayStation 1 and continued playing until the servers went down. I really don't want to start my Destiny 2 experience with such a huge loss. Please help.

Looks like you may have not migrated your account over to PS4, which in turn means it would have missed the August 1st 2017 deadline.

To enable this, all eligible Destiny accounts automatically underwent an Account and Character Migration on August 1, 2017 to import account and character data into Destiny 2.

Any Characters created or game progress made after August 1, 2017 will not be represented in Destiny 2.
