Maybe it is "cultural" or/and "generational" thing and we cannot do really better. Maybe some people prefer channels as Reddit because they are a bit "afraid" by email and/or IRC, especially maybe on official channels. Maybe because when someone has a problem, the first thing they does is a query to popular search engines and then browse some Reddit-kind of channels, so maybe they feels like it is a good entry point. Maybe some people appreciate the voting system (upvote, Discourse, etc.) to be "rewarded". Etc.. Well, I am not convinced it is an issue about visibility. :-( > “guix --help” prints this: > > Report bugs to: bug-g...@gnu.org. > GNU Guix home page: <https://guix.gnu.org> > General help using GNU software: <http://www.gnu.org/gethelp/> > > I think it should explicitly point to https://guix.gnu.org/help/, maybe > right before “General help using GNU software”. Yes, it cost nothing and could improve. All the best, simon
