Starting today, new support threads that are created on discord will be indexed and be easily findable with search engines thanks to Answer Overflow. Right now, existing threads are being indexed.

The dedicated community link is here: https://www.answeroverflow.com/c/812703221789097985

I think this is crazily important. My biggest issue with Discord is that they have become the default hubs for issues and fixes. Over days, weeks, months and years those fixes get buried and harder to find, but the worst offender is that they are unindexable by default.

Its lovely to see someone doing this. I wish everyone would do this.

As ever, if you don't know Heroic, you can find their website with this link here

And it takes away the ability to read issues and resolutions, which is probably 95% of what at least I have to do, from anyone and only grants it to the ones with a discord account

And, though I don't know how good forge fed will be, if it supports writing issues, you may be able to only have a codeberg or gitlab account (or your own instance(s)), and write issues everywhere (except GitHub ofc).
