Starting today, Heroic Games Launcher is indexing their Discord server
-
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

Because stupid people use it, and unfortunately stupid people are most.

Discord is a superb chat room with voice chat and screen share.
Most of the userbase is too young to know forums exist.

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.

I get it.
I can't use discord because my privacy settings on my devices is such that discord demands my phone number from me, and that is not a piece of personally identifying information I will ever share with them.

I understand you. You can always use a temp number or get a sim without credit

That is a proper workaround when you don’t have a choice, disposable temp sim will get you through their “security”. Unfortunately doesn’t work with virtual sim numbers though.

You can't use the webapp?
I always just use the browser app and I don't think I've given them my phone number... I should check that actually

And everyone already has an account, they can just press a button to join the server and be interacting straight away.

Agreed. Discord is a chatroom not a forum.

You can make a lemmy community in a few clicks if you don't want to run your own instance.

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.
