CONTRIBUTING.md links a dead Discord invite in three places #160

Description

@OrcVole

The Discord invite used throughout CONTRIBUTING.md returns Unknown Invite, while the one in README.md works. Every routing signpost in the contributing guide currently sends people to a dead end.

Deadhttps://discord.gg/QYbNFVFv, in CONTRIBUTING.md:

  • L12, "Request a feature — post in #feature-requests on Discord"
  • L175, the Community section: "Get help on Discord", heading the channel table
  • L187, "bring the conversation to #general on Discord"

Workinghttps://discord.gg/E4SFJKRPbg, in README.md at L22, L62 and L144. It resolves to the Lore server.

To reproduce, without needing a Discord account:

curl -s https://discord.com/api/v10/invites/QYbNFVFv   | jq -r '.guild.name // .message'
# Unknown Invite

curl -s https://discord.com/api/v10/invites/E4SFJKRPbg | jq -r '.guild.name // .message'
# Lore

Checked twice a few moments apart, so it is not a transient API failure.

If the README invite is the intended destination, the fix is replacing the three occurrences in CONTRIBUTING.md. Happy to open a PR if that is useful, though it seemed better to check which invite you want to standardise on first.

Found while packaging Lore for Cloudron, a self-hosting platform, so we were reading the contributing guide closely. Thanks for Lore.
