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

Quite a good move from them, although the whole support through Discord is a botched concept per-se. I'll check the bot too for The Gamer's Tavern, we have a few threads about Linux VR gaming and other Linux gaming/audio stuff worth (maybe?) of being set discoverable
