I think you're wrong to expect community outreach and low-effort involvement from a demoscene event. > It seems like a great tool for active communities Yes. And to a degree, those who are not active are not needed or wanted at every single event. A little gatekeeping preserves communities for far longer than gates-wide-open does (speaking from experience). Having said that, the barrier is still immensely low - if you care then go on the discord and check every few weeks. Seems like a small ask...

>check every few weeks That means scrolling up through weeks of general discussions to find the one morsel of information you need. I am on community discords. I do not want to be on community discords. Please, just publish the absolute minimum information on a webpage. Discord has a broken search and no permanence outside its servers, it's worse than even the most barebones mail group. All I ask for is to copy any announcement you make on the Discord to your webpage. A community that's only on Discord is not a community, it's a group of friends chatting with each other.
