I pop in to this Lemmy community every once and a while hoping for new content or discussions, but there is not a ton of activity. I ended up finding the FreeCAD discord channel and it seems to have a ton of engagement/activity, so I wanted to share. (but still post here, I would love to see this community become more active).
Also, the users on the discord are super helpful…like, insanely helpful. I am still learning, so it has been priceless for me (along with MangoJelly on YouTube)
I’m having trouble finding a discord link that works, this one and the ones in the official forum all don’t allow me to join…
why not IRC? or matrix?
OP found the discord not created it. I think it’s nice they shared it, maybe it could help someone.
I know one related matrix/irc channel, OsArch: https://osarch.org/chat/ #OSArch:matrix.org It’s mostly about BlenderBIM, but a lot of FreeCAD user hangs out there.
Correct. I was struggling with a design …(I am very new to cad) I normally would have gone to reddit, but since I quit reddit with the drama, I came here. Not much going on so I had to look elsewhere. I didn’t make the channel, I think it is an official channel. Maybe…? Regardless. They have helped me a ton. One of the users actually recreated my design the “proper” way so I could achieve what I needed.
It’s bridged to Matrix. Not sure about IRC but I think the libera.chat bridge is gone.
