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

Maybe just make a fucking forum? Jesus why did discord ever get popular in the first place?

Because you can make a Discord server with a few clicks. It's super easy. I wish more people used things indexable by search engines too, but you really can't deny how incredibly easy Discord is from the side of the people wanting to set up something.

Can you show me your discord server? Is it in the room with us? I think discord owns all the discord servers but that's just me...

I am using the terminology Discord uses. I am aware it is not a server in the traditional sense. Be angry with them, not me.
