Community
The main place where the community gathers is our Discord server. Feel free to join there to ask questions, help out others, share cool things you created with Typst, or just to chat. - hand on gear shift zoomed in, switching to reverse

Ah yes let me switch to a chatting app that is missing half the features from discord with a worse UI. Epic!
Meanwhile Discord misses half the features Matrix has. It’s almost as if they’re different projects with similar, but different goals.
One tries to be a flexible, interoperable, and secure protocol for communication, that’s free for anyone to implement and use…
The other is a for-profit company that cherishes its centralized nature and far reaching control, allowing them to sell you random bells and whistles, collect your data unobstructed, and lure in investors and advertisers.
Barely anyone cares about any of this. This stuff will never outweigh the features and QoL Discord has over everything else.
Features such as being locked in to a bloated preprietary client that doesn’t even respect your date format settings? Or having to give your phone number to a shady company?
