I know this has been asked once but I haven’t seen any answers to the request, so I will bring it up again.
Please Please Please consider starting an official discord. A forum is an okay tool, but after a week of some features such as the text reader on LR being down with no comment from the team (that I could find), I think this emphasizes the need for somewhere where we can have more consistent communication with the team and one another. The volume of communication and discussion on Discord just cannot be matched by the forum. And if you are busy programming, you could always appoint a community manager to relay messages from the team on your behalf.
I love LR but one of the most frustrating aspects in my opinion is lackluster community engagement. Please keep up the good work, your product is great. I just want it to keep getting better.
