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.

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

    To be fair, Heroic already use their GitHub repo to track issues

    1. GitHub is AI Microsoft trash
    2. The existence and direct support of Discord means people will post issues there in lieu of GitHub or other sources.

    I imagine it’s hard for devs to fully bypass.

    Not hard, you just don’t do it.
