Discord has become the default for many online communities, including roleplay. But as your community grows, you might notice problems: content gets buried, organization is a struggle, and long-form writing suffers. There's a reason many serious roleplay communities are looking for alternatives.

The Discord Problem for Roleplay

Discord was built for gaming chat, not collaborative writing. While it works for casual RP, serious communities hit walls: messages scroll away, new members can't catch up on lore, long posts are awkward, and organization requires constant workarounds.
