Custom 'Join Server' Btn

Can you please custom the 'Join Server' Btn Text? It is not familiar context to Korean. So we need to change the text. Can you provide the function or customize our domain ?...

mentions vs (pseudo-)anonymization

Looking atthis part of the sources, it seems like the text of mentions is indexed/shown on the website. However, it is possible that the mentioned user did not give consent and/or should be anonymized which would be "broken" by the mention. Ideally, mentions should be anonymized just like other usernames....

website outdated

On the homepage (https://www.answeroverflow.com/), it says "Answer Overflow is open source and MIT licensed", but it seems answer overflow has now switched to the source available "functional source license". Would be good to update that.

Searching logic

This is regarding the search functionality within the hosting page. It seems like the search is message-centric. We are using Post Channels, and in this case, not only messages but also thread (=Post) titles are important. Can we confirm the following two points? Whether the title is included in the search logic. If it is included in the search logic, can we configure the display priority?...

support discord direct link

On the mirrored page, it would be great if you could provide a link that allows users to navigate to the original Discord thread.
Solution:
We support that currently with the discord icon

support favicon

In the search results on the right, the first one is the previous Discourse we were using, and the second one is the new addition, Answer Overflow. It looks like Answer Overflow doesn't display site images, but can it be supported using Discord channel icons?
Solution:
Yes we will add support for custom Favicons

Strategies for preventing malicious users from spamming forums with unrelated or nsfw content?

Is there any current setup or feedback circles where server admins can have a sort of "wait to publish" feature in case rogue users attempt to spam an answeroverflow powered forum?

"Search the X community" searches globally?

Is it a bug or by design that the searchbar when the textbox says "Search for the X community" leads you to a global search of everything?

Image previews not showing special characters?

Take this post for example https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/1181311055243255891 the title has a question mark. Attached to this forum post is a photo of what an image preview looks like to discord. It seems that the question mark / special character doesn't appear?...
Solution:
Yep that’s a bug, thanks for the report I’ll fix it

Support for text embeds?

Not sure how this can work with the discord API (i do see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53201455/how-to-get-discord-bot-to-read-embed). Would be good for longform answers instead of breaking it up into multiple messages
Solution:
File previews are planned but also I think are gonna be a bit of a security nightmare so I need to make sure they’re implemented correctly

Should an answered forum post be automatically closed on discord's end?

Since each server gets 1000 threads, an active Q&A server can easily hit that. Wondering if we can send in feedback for feature request to auto-close a thread if forum post is answered. (Right now I'm somewhat going to solve this using mee6 automation)
Solution:
Ah yeah that'd be good I'll add a setting for that

Delete Bot message when thread is marked as solved

Would be cool to delete the first bot message when the thread is marked as solved. Would also improve the overview of the thread.

Messages from the bot are not marked as consenting?

On this page: https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/1091370232033050746 We see a thread that contains only two messages, one from me and the other from the AO bot itself. For some reason, the AO bot message is not public. Additionally, I am a member of the server, so I'm not sure why I can't see all messages anyway. Probably any bot should be marked as consenting automatically, since they can't opt-in themselves and... they're bots....
