> I built a paper trading app for stocks and options and Discord was the primary place where the users talked. The subreddit was almost completely empty, nobody responded to tweets, the Instagram was thriving but there was no sense of community because you couldn't tell if anyone commenting actually used the product or a meme just showed up in their feed.
What I'm hearing is that you think Discord is better than a forum, because people talked in Discord but they didn't talk in the forum, a forum which you didn't have?
Do you have comparable experience building a community via a traditional forum VS doing so with Discord? As far as I can tell, it doesn't seem like you have tried a normal forum, yet you say Discord is better for community building.
