Official Libretro/Retroarch Discord?

Are there any plans for this? Discord is quite popular for online gaming communities. Since RA now has several cores with net play capabilities, an official Discord would be a great way to facilitate players getting together to discus games, setting up play sessions, etc. I was excited to hear that FBAlpha cores recently had netplay added. Yet, it was quite disheartening to see that there was less than 6 ppl total hosting games (in various cores) when I checked today. I even tried connecting to someone playing sonic, though he/she had a password in place. I play on fightcade, besides the fightcade lobbies, Discord has been a great tool for meeting new players, discussing games, setting up play sessions, and even butting heads with other people. lol Its great that RA has netplay, but there’s gotta be a better way to pull in more ppl to use it/host games, etc. I think if RA wants to be an alternative to Fightcade and the likes, it needs its own Discord besides just the Libretro forums. Perhaps an official Discord would help popularize its netplay capabilities where it would then pull in the numbers of ppl using it as an alternative to FC/Killeria? Thoughts?

Already got one :slight_smile:

If you weren’t aware of it while looking for it, that’s a good indication that we need to publicize it better.

I made it with the ‘never expire’ setting.
