I would love to use this, but I don't manage any communities that aren't already married to either Discord or Slack.

- tabbott 6y agoFWIW we have been seeing a lot of larger communities that previously were deadset on Slack because "everyone knows it" importing their data from Slack in the last few months. Part of the reason is that Zulip's topics make it a lot easier for a part-time participant to use their limited time well (E.g. skimming or reading the conversations in most relevant to them in batch a few times a week). The Slack/Discord/IRC/etc. data model limits how effectively one can participate and benefit from a high-traffic organization without constantly watching it (and being in the organization's dominant time zone!).

- bovermyer 6y agoAwesome. Well, I have no users because there's no community yet, but I did set up a Zulip (cloud) for my Iron Arachne project. I plan on linking to it from the website's main menu.
- pantaloony 6y agoMan, do I ever miss chat services and chat clients not being so tightly coupled to one another.
