Just discovered Linen (https://linen.dev) the other day. It looks like they're building exactly the kind of community/discussion app that I've wanted for a while: a forum + chat hybrid for public conversations. I made a community for TFOS and connected the Discord server, so the #1048824705131499560 channel gets synced there: https://www.linen.dev/d/tfos/c/forum

Interesting, I feel like the clojurians slack could benefit from this, but also might add confusion for yet another Clojure discussion platform

yeah, I probably wouldn't advocate for it too heavily there, however when linen is more mature it might be interesting to try out for the

#biff

channel if possible. i.e. linen might be helpful there on a channel-by-channel basis for those who want to opt-in

For sure! I assume you can also make a linen-native community instead of importing, right? Seems like they’re hitting the slack and discord path pretty hard which makes sense for starting out

Yeah, you can. it'd be really interesting if you could write posts in linen and have them auto-posted back in slack by the bot, or something. So you could migrate the community without losing any engagement from people who don't migrate
