Finally! I hope this keeps knowledge archived and available, not like discord…

Discourse is similar to Discord only in name. It’s is not a closed-source IM that runs on someone else’s server (the ‘cloud’), but a free and open source forum system that can run locally and independently. It can be archived and posts can be accessed virtually indefinitely. I saw it in use in the Anki Forum and it’s really great ^_^

There’s also a toot regarding the point you raised :mammoth:

For a second my mind was blown… and then I saw the last line.

I’m very happy to see the community get a forum! I’ve been concerned before about a lot of great information being already effectively lost, either buried in active Discord servers, or worse, irretrievable from inactive or inaccessible servers. This is an excellent step forward.

Yes being indexed and findable by search engines is definitely a plus :blush:

Edit: Just browsing through the topics. Did you move/copy some of the questions from discord over to the forum?

12

I didn’t see explicit references to questions copied from Discord here, but that doesn’t indicate anything…

If you want to do that, I don’t think there is any problem with that if you attribute the original asker and answerer(s). In fact if it helps others you can answer your own questions. If we want to make the forum a long-term knowledge repository, any well-asked question and well-answered answer helps.

13

To start off the forum, a few people (including me) created common questions and self-answered them. This is a good way to contribute information, as outlined in How to post in the Questions category.
