Ah, I don't mean to generalise, but most of my experiences on Reddit have been a mixed bag, often more negative. Regardless of the community. I think it's because there's "no barrier to entry" (ie no special sign up, it's just a button). And the design in general feels like it's more suited for short form quippy comments than chatting or discussions.
And I 100% agree that their Discord is great. Also recommend it.
I've seen lots of activity on beginner and intermediate questions though.
As well as just chatting to people, or helping someone with an interesting problem.
I've had a really difficult problem ignored on Discord, but I also think the threading UI on there isn't great for lots of concurrent and unrelated discussions. I just found it frustrating to use. So, maybe some questions fall through the cracks?
Managed to resolve it in the end though. However, having typed all this, I realise a wiser thing would've been to ask on StackOverflow instead lol.
