and while there is a Preview tab right above this one, it's unclear what markup is tolerated; cleanly not markdown based on the previous message :-D

I'm also guessing my forum username is based on the portion of my email before the

but you'll want to exercise caution because I'd guess that's not as unique as one might think

and, related to my "session management" observation, I just noticed there doesn't seem to be any way to logout other than clearing cookies for all the linen.dev domains, I guess

Seems to slightly bork the formatting when importing from Slack

why should i use this over github discussions?

Is there anyway to get to the Settings page without resigning in via email everytime? I'm logged in but can only seem to change my displayname via Profile

[Feature Request] Search result only returns the individual comment, no way to see it in the thread and context surrounding it (without visiting the source platform)

You guys should get a Twitter :)

Anyway to refresh the cache on search? Accidently enabled a few internal chats which are now indexed https://github.com/Linen-dev/linen.dev/issues/584

@emil we could probably add a bit more padding between messages of the same user. It'll make the drag and drop a bit easier to select when it is individual messages

I am concerned about making public text channels of my discord servers on the internet. Isn't it against developer policy? Would discord shut down my servers because of that? Or do you have any plan to avoid discord banning your bots? https://discord.com/developers/docs/policies-and-agreements/developer-policy#handle-data-with-care

Hello! I didn't receive an email on Tutanota when trying to create an account ^^"

I tried sign up with email link but never received it, so had to sign up with a password. Is this a known thing?

Is it possible to allow numbers in channel names? E.g., I wanted a "k8s" channel, but had to use "kubernetes"

Where's the darkmode?

I found that after logging in to the official community, I can't log in to my slack background settings

hello

what does google searchable mean?

Hi team, after uploading Slack dump file, Linen alerts "xxx initialized" and disappear. The only thing is to way for now?

Dear all, I would like to sync messages from WeChat Group/Room to Linen, the current approach was to write my own bot to do wechat->slack one-way sync(as we don't have such API of linen for now), while after this is wired, I realized those bot posted messages will not be synced to linen by default, is it possible to enable this(optionally?) in some way? cc @Kam Thanks! BR// Wey

I seem unable to follow the Get Started flow for my own Discord server now that I've signed into linen.dev/s/linen

Setting linen up for my game studio discord now. First thing I've noticed is that I'm immediately missing my channel categories and order from Discord. Makes it a lot harder to get oriented.

Some clearer notice somewhere that "chat history is being imported" would be nice. I was about to come ask whether there's an extra action I need to take in order to backfill the existing message history.

Is there any documentation on setting up channels, etc, in linen? I have set up a community with slack integration - but if I invite people from linen they are unable to post in any of the channels (asks them to join slack..), including the default/general ones that appear to have been created by linen? If I post in a channel, it appears to come from the linen integration bot, so im not sure why they would need to also create accounts there?

Another issue is we have a general channel already on slack - and if both are enabled, there are 2 listed, but they both only show the "linen" versions content, and nothing from the slack integration.

Hi just tried to create a new account and when I click on the Sign in to Linen emails to create a community I get a 404 message. Thanks

Hey, just came across Linen. I'm an entrepreneur in the newsletter space. I've wanted something like a mix between Discourse and Discord/Slack for a while--easy to set up and good for informal discussion like Discord/Slack, but also public and good at async discussion like Discourse. I have a small Discord community for my own newsletter; their newish forum channels feature actually makes it pretty good. Though it's annoying that I can't put links to forum topics in my newsletter without my subscribers who haven't yet joined the discord server getting hit with a discord signin form. I actually made a proof-of-concept bot for publishing discord servers to a public site: https://discord.tfos.co/. I'm really glad to see you're working on this as a business! Couple of suggestions/thoughts: - Would it be a possibility to host a Discord bot instance instead of making people create their own? That's what I do for my proof-of-concept; adding it to your Discord server is dead easy. Not a huge priority for me I guess since I've already made the bot for Linen, but I found the process quite tedious and I'm guessing hosting a bot would improve your conversion rates significantly. At least this does mean you don't need to get authorized by Discord, which I suppose may or may not be a problem... - I'd love to be able to put in my Discord invite link somewhere and then have that be displayed on the public page. So I can link to a forum topic in the newsletter, then someone can follow the link and see the discussion, and then they can join the server from that page if they want to write a comment. I think this would be the only thing I'd need in order to start using Linen at least a little bit. - Ultimately I'd prefer to migrate away from Discord and just use Linen when it's mature enough, assuming that's a use-case you're interested in supporting/focusing on. - There might be some useful things that could be done for newsletters... e.g. perhaps when someone signs up for my newsletter, they can choose to also join the community. If they do, then their email gets added to Linen, and they get weekly digest emails, like the ones Discourse sends. Or something like that.

Hi, thanks for impressive software. I was finding a tool for open-focused communities, and this is exactly what I wanted.It seems there is no way to create a new community when joined to only one community. I had struggled with this, so I came here and noticed the button that I've seen every day in Discord appeared!

Hello, just logged in and having a quick tour. Will keep here a short diary of questions here / usability feedback.
