Silly Q: How do you browse TTRPG Discords? Forums are so much easier (lemmy.world)

Whenever I enter a discord it's like walking in halfway through ten conversations happening all at once.

Unless you go all-in and follow everything being said like you would a personal/private discord, how do you navigate them?

E.g I can search for "cleric" and try and parse the latest conversations but it's janky

Just in general this is a problem with Discord. It locks everything that you can find on the internet with open standards, behind closed standards of a walled garden. Conversations, threads, are all disorganized and unsearchable using traditional means.

Yeah, Discord is awful. It's a chat platform, I have no idea why people keep using it as a store of information. And on top of that, it's a walled garden, owned by a company that will do the same things all of these other walled off, VC backed communication platforms have done.

It's not for for purpose, and the company isn't fit to do business with as an end user.
