That's strange. Who made this sub-reddit? Not me (the creator).

If you have questions, come to #wireguard on Freenode -- https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.freenode.net/wireguard -- or ask the mailing list https://lists.zx2c4.com/mailman/listinfo/wireguard -- or just ask me here. We're a friendly bunch.

I was going to create it, but saw that someone else just did. You can try asking the person for mod access.

I don't mind getting help on IRC, but often there are problems that many people come across that can be solved by looking at other people's answers. Reddit is great for that, and StackOverflow hates being tech support and closes questions.

I understand if you want people to use the mailing lists for normal tech support, but I wonder if WireGuard's increasing adoption will bring a lot more people than everyone would like there.

Also the average person would find the use of mailing lists daunting, and tend to not love IRC.

I think this[1] said it better than I did.
