Searching shit is pretty damn important and Discord isn’t optimal, definitely. But somehow it’s better at searching than Lemmy! Now how does that happen?

Lemmy is indexed
For internal search discord has had more more devs, time and money thrown at it

Exactly, it’s a different paradigm and I don’t want a forum.

Because you can make a Discord server in like one click basically. That’s it. Also they have forum channels now on so-called community servers.
Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not saying Discord is better. I still hate how often it is used for things it shouldn’t be and I hate that it isn’t indexed by search engines. I’m just explaining.

I feel you. I’m just using the terminology they do.
