I am no longer checking this forum as of now. The reasons are outlined below. For years now our project has maintained two nearly identical forums, one here and one on Github. This splits our userbase and makes our proj…

It’s very unused. IMO it should be closed if we have that ability. No sense having new users thinking beets is dead when it’s semi-alive over here and on Github. https://groups.google.com/g/beets-users

How do you think each of these sites should be used? Back in the day, I didn’t want to make an account for Discourse, so I dumped a bunch of feature requests onto Github. if I were doing it today I’d probably make posts…

I think we should consolidate to one discussion forum, rather than two.\* I don’t think we do a good job of cultivating a community feel, even though everyone in both forums is very helpful and welcoming. It’s hard to rem…

Hiya. I have a handful of quick-and-easy questions and it seems silly to make a post for each question here: is there a slack or discord I can join to talk to some of the more experienced users? Thanks.

I’m not sure how much access you have for the Discourse install if it’s a Discourse hosted one, but if possible, maybe consider using outsidecontext’s discourse-musicbrainz-onebox plugin for fancyfying MusicBrainz links …

I'm not entirely sure how we'd implement this, but I think it would be cool if developers got their own badge on Discourse \[:smile:\]. We'd probably need to hand the badges out manually, most likely on request. Just an …
