How Important Are Discord Communities in Web3 and Dev Tool Ecosystems?

[Fultonallen]

Hey everyone

I’ve been exploring the Web3 space lately and noticed a trend—Discord servers are becoming the heart of almost every Web3 or dev tool community. Whether it’s DAOs, NFT projects, or scripting tools, a lot of support, collaboration, and even updates are happening through Discord now.

It got me thinking… how do you all see the role of Discord evolving in the dev space, especially when it comes to open-source tools, Web3 projects, or platforms that require frequent updates?

For example, I came across a tool related to scripting and automation (not directly Web3 but quite technical), and they have an active Discord server for user support and updates:

It made me wonder—do you think having a strong, engaged Discord community adds credibility to a tool or project, even beyond Web3?

Would love to hear how you all manage your own communities or pick which ones to join. Any tips on standing out or making a Discord more developer-friendly?

Looking forward to your thoughts!
