👋 Hey all!

We’re launching a preview of our Community Forums. You can check it out at https://community.railway.app/. You can ask questions and get help on the forums at https://community.railway.app/discuss/topic/questions.

Our ultimate goal is to give you a cohesive Railway experience across the board, and we believe that should extend to every facet of the product, especially community. We aim to build and foster something that's more than "just a regular forum" with y’all, and this is the early days of it.

We can't build this without you, so please roam around and feel free to drop any feedback, thoughts, feature requests, and questions. We love feedback so we'll take anything you have!

Check it out and let us know what you think in https://community.railway.app/discuss/thread/community-forum-preview-fe921684 party_railway

Is the plan to close/replace Discord with this new forum at some point?

normal willow Nov 10, 2023, 1:34 PM

#

Well, the plan as I understand it is to replace the #1006629907067064482 and #1157406325593096264 channels. The community channels aren't going anywhere to my knowledge.

^ yep, that is correct. In the long run, this will replace #1006629907067064482, #1157406325593096264, and https://feedback.railway.app

Would you also move existing feature requests here?

Yes,that's the plan

Or just have discord still handle forums, and then mirror everything that's on discord, into your forum for seo juice :p

seo juice 💀

Enough for SEO juice ngl. Also might be easier to make the discord server more active as well.

Mirror posts with a correct answer only. You can end each post with "Continue the conversation on discord" and that way all conversation will be in place too 👀

#

Essentially have the forum be a backup for success answers from Discord xD

leaden axle Nov 24, 2023, 5:17 PM

#

What do you think the experience is going to be like, talking on the railway forum

#

its explicitly non-realtime, whereas discord's forum is explicitly realtime

#

brody doesn't get to actually have conversations with people

#

but will people potentially actually use their brains when asking questions then?

#

like when you send an email you don't send it in 55 parts like a text message, you say a whole bunch of things in one message and then wait for a response

I cannot set a username, it gives me an error:

The username "Georgy" is not valid.

Can you guys please help me with this? 😦

try setting it lowercase as "gregory"

void jungle Nov 24, 2023, 8:50 PM

#

vale raven try setting it lowercase as "gregory"

Georgy, not Gregory 😉

Yes, I’ve tried it, but got the same error.

vale raven Nov 24, 2023, 8:50 PM

#

Sorry, my bad.

#

I can't read sometimes! 😅

#

It's possible that someone else already has it?

void jungle Nov 24, 2023, 8:51 PM

#

vale raven Sorry, my bad.

No worries, people from the US often make this mistake for some reason 😅

void jungle Nov 24, 2023, 8:53 PM

#

vale raven It's possible that someone else already has it?

I just confirmed my point.

normal willow Nov 24, 2023, 8:53 PM

#

@void jungle saw your automodded message, you'd probably get a popup about that

void jungle Nov 24, 2023, 8:53 PM

#

I really dislike these inappropriate words detection systems.

normal willow Nov 24, 2023, 8:54 PM

#

yeah, they're sometimes a bit odd, but they have caught stuff, so

void jungle Nov 24, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

Yeah, I get the appeal, but they often make mistakes. Also what is wrong with the word “огgy”? We are all adults here.

vale raven Nov 24, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

I just notified the eng responsible for the usernames, so just sit tight, and he will get back to you as soon as he is able

stable estuary Nov 24, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

wait How'd you bypass that just now lmao

vale raven Nov 24, 2023, 8:55 PM

#

We are going into the end of the holiday weekend here in the US.

stable estuary Nov 24, 2023, 8:56 PM

#

the end???

vale raven Nov 24, 2023, 8:56 PM

#

The start... Shut up Brody, I'm tired! 🤣

void jungle Nov 24, 2023, 8:56 PM

#

They are very US-centric, I believe — at least most of them. People often get errors by using their real names lol. Do you know that many Thai names have “t1ttу” in them?

normal willow Nov 24, 2023, 8:56 PM

#

yeah, that is kind of unfortunate

#

but I don't think it blocked your name

Thanks, but keep on mine I reserved my name lmao 😂

void jungle Nov 24, 2023, 8:57 PM

I bet it did 99%. I can't check it, because I don’t know the URL for community profiles.

It would have given you a popup error message.

void jungle Nov 24, 2023, 8:57 PM

#

stable estuary wait How'd you bypass that just now lmao

I’ve used Cyrillic letters 😅

stable estuary Nov 24, 2023, 8:58 PM

#

can you do that in the username field?

void jungle Nov 24, 2023, 8:58 PM

#

normal willow It would have given you a popup error message.

It did.

Hi

normal willow Nov 24, 2023, 8:58 PM

#

void jungle

I think the error message should specifically say "NSFW", so that's weird.

void jungle Nov 24, 2023, 8:58 PM

#

stable estuary can you do that in the username field?

Even if I could, I won’t because, well, that is bad UX lol

normal willow Nov 24, 2023, 8:58 PM

#

Aha, Faraz has arrived

halcyon arrow Nov 24, 2023, 8:59 PM

#

Will manually add it when at my desk again.

#

Wanna set it to something else for now so it’s easy for me to find?

void jungle Nov 24, 2023, 8:59 PM

#

halcyon arrow Will manually add it when at my desk again.

Thanks a ton!

Do you have friends at Facebook by any chance? I cannot use my name in the username there either 😂

halcyon arrow Nov 24, 2023, 8:59 PM

#

halcyon arrow Wanna set it to something else for now so it’s easy for me to find?

Like farazchangethis or something

stable estuary Nov 24, 2023, 8:59 PM

allow conductors to approve usernames!!

void jungle Nov 24, 2023, 9:00 PM

#

Yeah, will do.

It's “fzisdabest” 💀

Thanks FP! You rock!

void jungle Nov 24, 2023, 9:01 PM

FZ like Faraz, get it? I know I have a really good see of humor 👌🏻

halcyon arrow Nov 24, 2023, 9:09 PM

#

Done.

#

and gn.

vale raven Nov 24, 2023, 9:10 PM

#

Thank you! Enjoy your night!

void jungle Nov 25, 2023, 5:51 AM

#

halcyon arrow Done.

Hey FP, thanks for setting the username. However I cannot enable my community profile and set the “Bio” and “Website” because it gives me an NSFW error (as I’ve said, this was the issue, heh).
