The rampant use of Discord in FLOSS project is really disheartening. To join yet another Discord channel to receive any kind of support or discussions around the project, is off-putting.
Discord is the worst. The siloing of tons of information that should be publicly searchable and accessible via a public forum, but instead it’s siloed off into this closed wall with shitty search.
I actually wish Lemmy was better searchable as well. I think Lemmy could be way better and drive adoption if it had a cross instance search engine / indexer.

If your instance is federated well, how does Lemmy not already have the search you’re speaking of?
You’re not alone with your opinion.
Like, IRC exists and it just as useful to me as discord. Set up a wiki for FAQ’s and documentation.
