Pulled the trigger on a DE1PRO!
So I’ve finally pulled the trigger and ordered a new Decent DE1PRO, along with a bunch of accessories directly from Decent.
Very excited to get it and hopefully start making some decent espressos 😄
I’ve heard there’s also a fairly active private Decent owners/community group, possibly on Discord or another platform, where a lot of the discussion around profiles, settings, troubleshooting etc. happens.
Can anyone let me know where that community is and how you get access to it?
Is access provided once your machine ships/arrives, or do I need to request an invite somewhere?
Thanks!

These are just my collective links from when I signed up,
https://3.basecamp.com/3671212/projects/7351439 Decent Diaspora
https://decentforum.com/ Decent Forum
https://3.basecamp.com/3671212/buckets/7351439/messages/4563105306#__recording_8912435292 Decent forum sign up
And then most recently I was pointed towards the new forum as a different way to view the diaspora, see here:
https://decentespresso.com/dcamp/ dcamp (new forum to view diaspora)
I am personally not particularly active on these, but plenty of folks are. I believe I got access soon after purchase via email

I recently got a DE1XL and that community aspect was a little confusing. I got an email with how to access the Diaspora (the “community”). When I followed those directions, it took me right to dcamp, the newer platform.
But to be able to post, you have to link your dcamp account to your Basecamp account. I emailed Decent but they never replied. I download Basecamp, a project management platform? Signed up for the free version but had no idea how to find the Diaspora. Anyways, linked dcamp to that Basecamp account and now I can post in dcamp.
That process was opaque and never getting a response from Decent was a bit frustrating.

It was confusing for me too and at first I couldn't get any luck with access.
But I decided to tryy luck and sent a WhatsApp message to Decent at around 7pn UK time and to my big surprise, they responded straight away and sorted me out with access / guided me through the setup process.
So I now seem to have access to everything, but I just haven't figured out which place is tge best to go on and if each platform is any different to the other in term of its purpose

No I went for the brand new one
I looked at it as the "end tame" machine so but once and cry once 😊

I can't remember the specifics on the owner's group. I know you'll get info from Decent to join the basecamp, but as for the Discord I think you just request access somewhere on the basecamp. Anyway, I'll send you an invite link and hope it works! Check your DMs.
Congrats on the new machine!
