If you hang out around various programming related ones, I think people are clued into it.

ReScript, Rust, Functional Programming Discords come to mind for me.

Thanks, I’ll look into those cases. I think the hard part is that Discord solves presence, Reddit solves discovery, and forums solve memory/structure, but none of them combines all three very well. The question is whether the pain is strong enough to justify trying to build a new kind of platform that combines those three things gracefully.
