  Same. At first I was skeptical but whereas HN, Lobsters, etc are mostly baseless opining (mine included) and hot takes, there are discords where they have more signal than the infotainment I enjoy on HN. I’m in a few where people regularly group-read research papers, help each other understand them, etc. I enjoy HN very much, and I still feel uneasy about the ephemeral format of chat, walled gardens and all that, but the content is refreshing.

    Any discords you're willing to share?

      Karpathy's Zero to Hero Discord is super friendly. Yannic Kilcher's is also cool and seems more active. I like the paper discussions, but it also has more meme-tier antics. This computer vision one is decent: https://discord.gg/MqbXfSG2Wm https://discord.gg/MqbXfSG2Wm

        I tried joining the Zero to Hero Discord as I love Karpathy's style and vibe, but I couldn't find a way to get in (found expired invites only). Do you by any chance know how to get in?

        Thank you! I was still unable to join with that link, so maybe they closed it off or something.

  In my opinion, discord is more "active" social media than "passive". My family uses it to communicate with recent updates, but I don't find it of tremendous value for archival information.
