It's kind of stupid this even has to exist tbh
I don't understand what this is, can you explain? Apologies if it's obvious.
It is a bot that these communities on discord can invite to specific channels that will index the discussion to provide a search engine interface. Ideally search engines could leverage the answeroverflow API to help people get access to the technical discussion that now happens in discord instead of forums or mailinglists which do come up in search engine results.
Thanks!
