[libcxx-commits] [clang] [libc] [libcxx] [lldb] [llvm] [doc] Add Discord invite link alongside channel links (PR #126352)

Fri Feb 7 22:34:52 PST 2025

https://github.com/asb created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/126352

By far the most important part of this patch is updating GettingInvolved.rst to include the invite link, but I've grepped for any other discord.com links.

I'm no Discord expert, but from my experience (confirmed via @preames kindly testing as well) the direct channel links provide a confusing experience if you haven't already found and used an invite link to the LLVM Discord server. If you're logged into Discord, the web app opens and then...nothing. No channel opens, no prompt to join the server or even a hint that you need to find an invite link (and if you're not used to Discord, you likely don't even know that's necessary).

This patch addresses the issue by providing the invite link where Discord is mentioned.

Subject: [PATCH] [doc] Add Discord invite link alongside channel links

By far the most important part of this patch is updating
GettingInvolved.rst to include the invite link, but I've grepped for
any other discord.com links.

I'm no Discord expert, but from my experience (confirmed via @preames
kindly testing as well) the direct channel links provide a confusing
experience if you haven't already found and used an invite link to the
LLVM Discord server. If you're logged into Discord, the web app opens
and then...nothing. No prompt to join the server or even a hint that you
need to find an invite link (and if you're not used to Discord, you may
not even know that's necessary).

This patch addresses the issue by providing the invite link where
Discord is mentioned.
