Discord is great for building community, but the chat format isn't really great for general advice/Q&A. 80-90% of people will have some relatively basic question that should have one canonical answer. And the experts will quickly grow tired of answering the same question since chat interface isn't easily discoverable. This will lead to experts slowly abandoning the community. I haven't been on the Rust server but I'd guess that one reason it's useful is because your typical Rust developer already knows how to code and isn't a complete newbie. So you end up having conversation between seasoned developers who know how to read docs and can figure out basic syntax on their own.
