Any other channel other than github discussion for this project?

Is there any other better channels to join and engage with the community like a discord server, telegram channel or something besides this GitHub discussion?

I couldn't find those in manual or readme, so just asking the doubt here.
Coz I feel other platforms like discord are very well organized and open better opportunities for communications.

GitHub has been the primary way of communicating with the maintainers or engaging with community members as long as this project has existed. So to answer your question in short, there aren't any channels othr than GH discussions for this project.

While I considered the possibility of one, I ultimately found Discord to be unmaintainable for help. As us maintainers won't always be able to respond immediately, GH discussions makes more sense as they allow for a searchable index of discussions for both us and the users. As you might be aware, Discord's search function is not very good. You can, however, find me active in Vimjoyer's server which has a respectable population of nvf users. I'm also active there occasionally if you want to ask questions.

A Matrix space has been considered, but not all of nvf's maintainers are that active to justify one. Although I'm reconsidering now a more generic space that unifies my projects and act as support channels for each one of them. Maybe one day.

Thanks for the reply, I'm already in Vimjoyer's discord server. But as u said, I wish these community chats could be better with some platform.

Btw a personal request/suggestion, u could start some small learning series where u teach stuffs from 0 to hero, or zero or onboarding beginners.
Coz the knowledge gap is for real and people struggle a lot with it.
Example:
I haven't touched vi/vim/neovim at all in my life, so I want to get started and learn neovim with nvf setup.
Docs are very helpful for those who already know the basics and configured their setup previously.
But bridging that gap is hard.

U can start a small blog/video series where u teach,
neovim basics through nvf, from setting things up etc etc.
