Why creating a LifeJournal Community instead of a Discord server ?
Discord at its root is a chat app, which means it is not ideally suited to organize and archive data.
You can circumvent these limitations to a certain extent by leveraging groups, channels, threads, locked channels, pinned messages and so on. But it is very hacky, and data organization still suffers a lot, as data cannot really be ungrounded from its temporal thread structure.
Unlike Discord, LifeJournal at its root is a note-taking app, that is ideally suited to organize and archive data. All social features are built on top of these solid data management foundations.
Discord is a better solution than LifeJournal Community when you want to create a community that is focused on "now", where content is fleeting.
