i feel like discord is much better at fostering a community and less good at being a resource or repository of information. like in a discord you talk directly to individuals so you get to know them and become friends. if you are new you can just pop in and say hi and start making friends, it's very organic. other platforms are much worse at this. I feel this is a big reason people use it.
To add, I have seen informative discords before, but it requires a dedicated mod team to organize the channels into read only, informative posts.
Definitely works 1000x better as a community chat though.
