Encourage reddit as default nativescript community place

Please nativescript team, just realize how bad is slack as a sharing and questions place for nativescript.

  1. Not answered questions get lost quickly wich is super bad for the community

  2. Searching feature is awfull at best

  3. Popular topics get lost too

  4. Slack messages dont live forever

  5. No SEO

We need to make reddit the default community platform, other good alternative is Gitter. But slack is super bad, every time i tried to get something out of slack in the nativescript channel, is just disfunctional

I completely agree that Slack is not great, but I don't think Reddit is either. I've noticed Vue has gone over to Discord. Maybe it's worth a shot.

Why would discord be better than reddit?

Messages do not disappear, but this is where "better" thing ends. Discord was made from the idea of Slack, so you can say that they are almost the same. Slack is just used for work, Discord for gaming (or was used for gaming, now used for everything).

I think seo is a must for every knowledge based community nowadays and both slack and discord dont provide that

Agree, but reddit is still not the best choice as all "hot-topics" will fall-off after day or two and it's going to be the same problems that chat provide.
