I wanted to share my opinion about community forum and I’d like recommend moving to something like https://www.discourse.org/ over Slack.

    Alice Sowerby: Hi Alice, a few things in my experience: - I need to track Slack regularly to see if I got response. Notifications are not working pretty well which is a known issue. There is no email or equivalent reminder. Also I need to switch workspaces etc. - Questions disappear easily so that it does not work for the potential same future questions. Discourse offers recommendation before asking the question. - I might want to subscribe some topics even I don't have a question. These are the experience that I personally observed through both our Startup's as well as the following communities who also left Slack and jumped in to the Discourse. - https://developer.mongodb.com/community/forums/ - https://forums.docker.com/ - https://community.cloudflare.com/ and so on. Happy to share more on this one. Thanks.

    Hey Beray! Would love to hear more on your thoughts here - what kind of thing would you like to see on a forum and would you see a place for Slack the mix still?
