Gosh, of all people, i'm interested in your thoughts particularly on using a subreddit as an official support / forum alternative.

Well, we did consider that use case when we added the ability to make private or restricted Reddits. I think it's a great way to do it, except for one thing -- you have to make a reddit account to get help. That would probably be barrier for some.

Also given that the reddit sorts prioritize newness, it may not be the best resource for support since there is a good chance some old posts might cover a common problem.

Overall there are probably better support platforms.

But using a private reddit for an internal support forum would probably work really well!

Reddit search is even worse than discord.
Huh, for me its opposite. When I tried searching on Discord it results in dozens of the same questions usually without answer..
But at least you can use Google to search reddit. You can't use google to search discord.
