Discord

🎮 Using our Discord

We use a Discord server for our users and our dev-team.

If you're stuck, look down the users-list for a community-mod and chat with them.

Discord is great for information that is more transient:

• touching base and chatting with other users / devs
• getting help / figuring out problems together
• discussing ideas
• hanging out in the video-conference rooms
• discussing even advanced dev topics

GitHub is great for more-persistent information.

• filing a bug / feature-request issue (after you've used Discord to discuss)
• contributing persistent information to a pull-request (please still prefer to keep chat on Discord)
• MAKING a pull-request

Do your best to figure out where to engage. We're trying to figure it out too.

Discord Conventions

• Please put things in the most sensible place If we all do this we're golden

• Code-chunks (within a line) use ` either end of your code

• Code-blocks (multiline) use ```python

  • then ``` to end the block
  • this way you'll get beautiful syntax hilighting

• Use Discord Timestamps for scheduling https://hammertime.cyou/en-GB

• If it helps someone else, react 👍 to acknowledge you've read something

• If you want to spawn a thread (and can't) ask a community mod

• We use THREADS.

  • If you're in a channel and want to see the threads, there's a #💬 icon on the top right of your Discord window.
  • Click it to see all the threads
  • You can JOIN a thread (right click and 'join')
    • This means the thread appears under the channel, and you can see conversation in it!
