Bambuddy Community has a new home — and Discord isn't going anywhere

Bambuddy Community has a new home — and Discord isn't going anywhere. Some of you noticed I was considering shutting down Discord. After hearing your feedback, I've found a better path: both can coexist. We've launched forum.bambuddy.cool — a dedicated community site with a forum and real-time chat, all in one place. Here's how it works now Forum In-depth discussions, guides, support questions. Everything is searchable and persistent — no more answers lost in a scrolling chat. Chat The same real-time conversation you're used to, but accessible from both Discord and the forum. Key channels are synced between the two, so you won't miss anything regardless of where you hang out. GitHub Bug reports and feature requests still go to github.com/maziggy/bambuddy. Not the forum, not Discord. What does this mean for you? Nothing changes if you want to stay on Discord. Your messages sync to the forum chat automatically. If you prefer a web experience, head to forum.bambuddy.cool — you can log in with your Discord account. For longer discussions and support, post on the forum. That way answers don't scroll away and actually help the next person with the same question. The goal is simple: one community, your choice of tool. See you there — or right here. Either way works. — Martin

Forum Beta — What's Here, What Works, and How to Help

admin — Sat, 18 Apr 2026 12:00:05 GMT

Hey everyone! The Bambuddy Community Forum is now live — but it's still in beta. Things might break, layouts might shift, and features are still being polished. That's where you come in. What is this place? This forum is the new home for the Bambuddy community. It replaces the old Discourse setup and runs on NodeBB, heavily customized for our needs. Forum The forum side works like any classic forum — categories, topics, replies, search. Use it for: In-depth discussions and questions Installation help and troubleshooting Feature ideas and suggestions Announcements and release notes Sharing your setups and prints Posts are searchable and persistent — unlike chat, nothing disappears. Chat Channels The chat channels in the left sidebar are live-synced with our Discord server. Messages flow both ways: Post in Discord → appears here Post here → appears in Discord Images, edits, and deletes all sync. So whether you prefer Discord or the forum, you're in the same conversation. Available channels: General / Help, Development, Off Topic, Share & Tell, and private channels for Contributors and Moderators. Slash Commands in Chat Type / in any chat room to see available commands: /issue — Step-by-step guide to report a bug /feature — How to request a feature /topic — Export chat conversation to a forum topic /pin / /unpin — Pin messages /members — List room members /help — Show all commands Reactions You can react to both forum posts and chat messages with emoji. On forum posts, click the + button below the post. In chat, hover over a message and click the smiley icon in the controls. Login You can register with email, or log in with Discord or GitHub — same accounts you already use. What's still being worked on UI tweaks and dark theme polish Mobile responsiveness Notification fine-tuning Link previews for some sites (Cloudflare-protected URLs won't preview) Search currently covers forum only, not chat Found a bug? Something looks weird? Please report it in Comments & Feedback. Include: What you did What happened What you expected A screenshot if possible This helps us fix things fast. Thanks for being part of the beta! Your feedback shapes how this community grows. — Martin
