    I think discoverability is still a problem.

    I use Discord for real-time communication, but leaving a platform that’s closing up access for a platform with already closed access makes no sense to me. It doesn’t solve the original problem.

      Ditto! I think mass participation forums (e.g. r/malefashionadvice) should always be searchable without first having to create an account, find a particular server, join it and then search there. This is just an incredibly slow and ineffective way compared to just doing a search for my problem site:reddit.com in your favorite search engine.
