Can we just go back to personal websites and forums?
Also fuck discord use mumble
It's even worse when open source projects point you towards their discord for questions and support.
It's just a black hole for information
I hate that so much, especially when GitHub lets have your own wiki. It's just lazy devs.
Maybe the devs love keeping answering same questions over Discord? =D
Naw, they just like to see that 60-70% unanswered rate for problems and issues. Makes for the best community support.
Highest effort, lowest reward.
Fucking feel that hard, I just nope the fuck outta there.
looks around at the fediverse uh we kinda already are...
Not exactly.
but very similar
It's still more like a townsquare with everyone talking than like a bunch of thematic pubs, so - doesn't feel the same.
there are thematic pubs and even entire instances tho.
its like bb forums but interconnected
I meant - structured however you want it. Different sites, not different Lemmy instances.
Discord is trash, had issues with a KBDFans product, something as simple as a search of a forum would have given me the solution. I had to talk to a human to get the required information. They sent me a link to a firmware to download and all was good.
If I was able to search a forum it would have been a 2 minute job, but I wasted someone else's time, on the other side of the globe.

Discord has a search function tho?
And if you've ever used it you know how bad the search feature is. Case in point https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360043045592-Exact-search
Join my discord for tutorials on how to setup your own static webpage!
Guilty, but I'm moving my guides to Lemmy!
The self hosted movement should be bigger!
What's mumble?
