One of Reddit’s biggest communities is suggesting users move to Discord r/malefashionadvice, the biggest Reddit community still inaccessible in protest of Reddit’s new API pricing, is encouraging its users to congregate on Discord and view guides on Substack.

Discord is VERY different from link/thread aggregators/forums such as Reddit and Lemmy. I just don't understand subreddits that move to Discord.

/r/buildapcsales/ has an official Discord server now, and it just sucks compared to Reddit's format.

Also, Discord doesn't show up in search results for if people are trying to find an answer for something. And the search in the Discord servers sucks for this kind of thing as well.

Elaborating on /r/buildapcsales specifically with earlier comment:

Using the search in the subreddit lets you see what the price is usually on sale at, and around what time of year. Sometimes the current sale isn’t worth buying. People would comment in the threads mentioning that.

You can also read everyone’s comments on that specific product in either the current thread or the old ones to see if it’s worth buying or not for yourself.

Do note that a lot of these have 30-100 comments that are helpful for users to read.
