Has anyone moved their community from Slack to Discord or vice versa? What made you switch?

I find Discord to be a bit more casual and easy to work with, plus our target audience is fairly likely to be familiar with discord so it just makes sense for us to host out community there

Since so many people already use Discord, it seems to be the one most are comfortable with.

Discord is better for community interactions imo. You can join voice chats for different topics, stream to everyone in the commmunity and even make friends with people there

We use Slack for our internal communications and Discord to interact with the community. Discord is a place where you hang out while Slack is a place to do work. It just made sense to separate the two accordingly

Had to switch to Slack because the file sharing capabilities there are just plain better. Discord is nice but if sending large files (video for example) is part of daily proceedings then its a bit of a hassle to have that through discord since the file size limit is so restrictive. So yeah, Slack all the way at least for now

If you need help figuring out which one is best for you then I recommend checking out this article: https://zapier.com/blog/slack-vs-discord/

We made the switch to Discord when we received a lot of feedback that people weren't using the community because they didn't want to or never remembered to open another app. Most of the were already Discord users so we made the move and engagement went up right away.
