Amazing app for connecting with other users

New to the app

Honestly the amount of free stuff they provide compared to discord where you have to pay makes it worth it to begin with. Then you have the apps that are able to integrate with your community and stay open without taking up too much memory on my laptop is what really sells it for me.

The devs seem to be really in tune with user feedback which is always nice to see.

Overall I’m really excited to see root grow
