Community
The main place where the community gathers is our Discord server. Feel free to join there to ask questions, help out others, share cool things you created with Typst, or just to chat. - hand on gear shift zoomed in, switching to reverse

Discord makes for a bad forum because it's not a forum! Stop using it as one! It's good for small groups that need realtime communication-- friend groups, project groups, even classes of students. If you're using it as a public forum you're using the wrong tool!
They added forum-style posts a while ago, which greatly improves usability. But I won't use it regardless, due to privacy issues.
Greatly improved usability, while still greatly hurting searchability, in that common bugs are still hidden away from indexable sight.
Discord has a robust search system
That is absolutely not true unless if you have exact word matches, and anyone with half a brain knows it's not about searching within discord, but about searching outside of it.
Discord is a black hole of information. What happens inside is unknown from the outside. This is why every single FOSS project using discord loses the right to call themselves FOSS - an issues page is equally free, has way, way better features to relate an issue to patches and releases, and is actually indexable.
It absolutely is.
I'm gonna ignore your uncalled-for personal insult and instead point out that you might want to search a specific group for information rather than the entirety of the internet.
Then just...go inside? These aren't password-protected communities.
Uhhhh no that's not how that works.
I agree.
Ladies and gentlemen of the Linux community: A guy telling you to step inside the walled garden. Unironically.
I rest my case.
I don't have the time for this.
What "walled garden"? I don't think you know what that phrase means.
Good, go away.
No I will not sign up for ze discord chinese data harvesting op
If your project isn't something I can index through a search engine - you don't have a project. Want a forum? Make a subreddit or better yet a Lemmy community.
