I also use the mobile UI. When I browse through a new community from another instance (but through my home instance) I just expand the sidebar at the top, and use the subscribe button there. No need to copy/paste the community handle.

Oh it does? And with those forums you can vote content up to make them more visible? I thought it was just an endless stream in various channels.

Also – unless I am missing something here, with Discord you are seeing posts in a strictly chronological order. Yes, you can like and react to posts, but that won’t bubble and auto-curate great content to the top. I was once in a very popular Discord and the amount of random posts filling up the feed made me leave it after some time.

The Boost developer has been unusually quiet on this entire scenario. It’s possible he might not be shut down?

Or rather it’s a lot harder to bring back users and make them stay if all they can see are sexy pictures of John Oliver
