    I am talking about reach and promotion, please read what i am writing. If i made an app for 14 year old yes, i would create my platform where they exist (discord and reddit) - if its a fully FOSS project for a mature audience, i’d go there to promote but not for exclusive use in platform. Reach at first is incredibly tough, the time you place doing all that is valuable as well.

      While Discord may be a valid place for your project to gain traction, documentation, etc. shouldn’t be there as Discord is unsearchable. That’s what I’m saying.

      How would you advertise on discord? Correct me if I’m wrong, but it doesn’t have any discoverability or recommendation algorithm to recommend your “server” to other users.
