Reminder why Forums are great and Discord sucks.
Googled something I needed today and where did it lead me? To a post on my own forum 😅 with the exact fix.
Search engines don't get Discord but they do get Forums.
Put guides on Forums pleeeeaaase.
@Sirsquid I have always found forums to be better than Discord's/Guilded's, etc.
But anytime that I create a forum, I'm always told "I don't want to join a forum, I'm already on Discord"
You win some, you lose some.
@Sirsquid Discord < Discourse
@Sirsquid Nothing annoys me more than when I am looking for a solution to something and see "Join our discord to get help"
A forum is a great place to find a solution to a problem together. After you found it, dump the thread and post it in a wiki... pleeease :)
@Sirsquid Forums > pretty much anything else.
@Sirsquid Happened to me, too, only the forum wasn't mine.
@Sirsquid Im a total documentation nerd and so this is the stuff that mentally pains me. >.<
@Sirsquid Yes. But also my least favourite search result is landing on my exact query in a forum, but the only reply is “this question has already been answered. Please do a search before posting” 😆
@Sirsquid what if I told you that discord is making a forum channel type? Great right? No, it can't be accessed globally like every other forum.
Discord is special.
@Sirsquid Forums <3
@Sirsquid@mastodon.social True True. Other than Forums there are also old-fashioned blogs for stuff like this. But I don't need to tell you that
A blog is also searchable and findable. At least somewhat.
