Yup! It’s great. My only hesitation in promoting it is how great the forum also is and I hate to dilute that. I’d love to figure out how to better incentivize people to move things from the Discord to the forum for posterity. Here’s me doing so recently:
So maybe consider that the price of admission to the Discord: willingness to recap as forum posts interesting discussions or things you learn.
PS: Here are the current channels in the Discord:
Main channels
#larvae: introductions; keep it brief, then move to #hive#hive: main; keep it beeminder/akrasia/productivity/etc-relevant#bumbling: random / off-topic#beemios: special channel for the iOS app#apiary: API and programming (like the Tech category in the forum)#pollen: polls (it’s funny if you speak german)
Obtuse/nerdtastic/rabbit-holey channels
#meta: like the Meta category of the forum#busybees: pomodoro poker / co-working#birds: twitter feed#weightloss: self-explanatory#spellingbee: word games, especially bot-mediated ones#waggledance: announcements#botspam: for testing bots for the love of god mute this#starboard: experimental way to star/pin messages
Come to think of it, the #starboard channel was meant to help with the problem of remembering to move things to the forum. Emoji-react to something with a star and it gets auto-collected in #starboard and in theory we can beemind that to make sure everything starred gets moved eventually.
