I also wish open-source communities would move off of Discord for another reason: Users are limited to joining a maximum of 100 servers.

I've hit the cap and it's driving me crazy. It's really easy to hit it since each friend group, hobby group, gaming community, and open-source community often all have their own servers.

I can barely keep up with 6 semi active discord servers, each with tens of semi active channels... Much less think about doing it with hundreds. More power to you, must have figured out a good notification scheme

I don't really care about the notifications. I just want to read what's in the servers. Lots of communities post their announcements/links/resources in their Discord servers.

It is sometimes possible to view a Discord server without joining it, but it is painful compared to just joining the server.

I am super curious how other people use discord. I’m like you—trying and basically failing to keep up with 6 servers. I just want to watch a power user out of morbid curiosity. I suspect they are also browser tab hoarders, which I’m also curious about.

That limit is per account, right?
