Really disliking that discord is used as helpdesk/forum. Not really searchable via the web.
Also no link to the repo.

I’ve always felt discord was way too ephemeral and caused a lot of question to be re-asked over and over.
I agree. Bad for SEO as well. I'd say that Discord chose us more than we chose it. That's where our initial users wanted to talk with us.
There's a link above the body, but I just added one to the body as well. Thanks for the note!
really weird that they only included a discord link, but here is the repo: https://github.com/dittofeed/dittofeed
It was my mistake. The post should be updated now, but please let me know if you're still not seeing the link.
You'll hate to hear this and it'll age you 50 years but... The new generation doesnt use Google unless everything else fails. They will search discord, tiktok, and ChatGPT directly first before they ever touch google 🫠
Because Google sucks ass. Other search engines are better only because Google got so bad. And I speak from someone who stayed on the internet just after BBSs became ISPs with blazing fast 14400 baud modems.
Do you have federated channels? Like matrix, lemmy, mastodon, etc.?
Currently, the way you'd integrate with federated channels is via our webhook channel, but we do plan on building first-class integrations for matrix and lemmy in q1 of next year.
Is there a Github link?
Hi sorry, I didn't realize the previous image link replaced the github link. Just edited the post to fix that, but here it is as well: https://github.com/dittofeed/dittofeed
Thanks for brining to my attention!
Cool, thanks!
Wuphf!
What's the difference?
Hi apologies, could you clarify for me? Difference with reference to what?
Why is this better than any other service mentioned.
Mainly that it's self-hostable which makes it better for data security, lowers cost, and makes it extensible.
Aren't you then hosting an SMTP source and relay?
You can certainly use SMTP in place of an email provider like SES or Resend, but I don't generally recommend it if you're concerned about deliverability and metrics.
I think this is an integration platform so you can automate a newsletter.
