Announcing Our New Community Forum: Moving from Slack to Discourse
Daniel Ballmer
Hello LimaCharlie Community!
We're excited to announce that we're transitioning our community from Slack to a brand new Discourse-based forum at community.limacharlie.com.
Why We're Making This Change
While Slack has served us well for real-time discussions, we've identified some limitations that prevent us from building the best possible community experience:
Messages in our free Slack plan disappear over time, causing valuable discussions and solutions to be lost
Knowledge is fragmented and not easily searchable
Limited accessibility for users whose organizations restrict Slack
Lack of structured organization for community contributions
Benefits of our New Community Forum
Our Discourse-based forum addresses these challenges and offers significant improvements:
Permanent Knowledge Base
Discussions and solutions will be preserved indefinitely
Enhanced Searchability
Easily find answers to questions that may have already been asked
Greater Accessibility
Access via any web browser without installing proprietary software
Structured Organization
Dedicated categories for different types of content
Community Recognition
Earn badges and build reputation by contributing to the community
Exciting New Features
Our new forum includes several dedicated spaces designed to enhance collaboration:
Share and discover IaC templates, Adapter parsers, LCQL queries, and D&R rules
Collaborate on emerging threat intelligence
Get help from both the LimaCharlie team and community members
Submit and upvote ideas for product improvements
Stay informed about release notes, status updates, and more
How to Join
Registration is simple! You can sign up using:

We encourage you to create your account on the new forum as soon as possible. We plan to sunset this Slack workspace in the near future as we complete the transition to our new community platform.

Feel free to reach out with any questions about this transition. We're excited about this new chapter for our community and look forward to seeing you on the forum!
Best regards,
The LimaCharlie Team
