It does not "just work," and you're not going to hear from me because I'm not joining yet another Discord server just to wade through searching through chat. Do a free forum. They've worked for 30 years and I might actually find my answer by Googling and won't need to even making a forum account.

I agree. Search is abysmal. Discord is fine for community chat, but it’s awful as a replacement for customer support forums.

With attitude like this, perhaps it is indeed for the better to not hear from you.

I actually entirely agree with you. Nobody needs to take on accommodations they don't want to. And that was kind of my point; you should be aware that choosing Discord limits your participants and also limits your participants ability to engage with your project.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing; may even be a positive aspect. In a quickly changing project, maybe it's good if your documentation isn't too "sticky" and the solution to a problem isn't low-touch "read the docs" but high-touch "ask me so that I can experience the pain points"
