A few days ago we launched our Discord server. It has already become the fastest way to get help, share ideas, and talk to us directly. But real-time chat has a limitation: conversations scroll away. A great tip someone shared on Tuesday is buried by Thursday.
That is why we also created r/AppVideoStudio.
What the Subreddit Is For
Reddit is built differently than Discord. Posts stay visible. They get upvoted, commented on, and indexed by search engines. That makes it the right place for content that should last:
- Tutorials and guides: walkthroughs that help someone six months from now, not just today.
- Showcase posts: finished videos you're proud of, with context on how you made them.
- In-depth discussions: longer conversations about workflow, strategy, or app marketing that benefit from threaded replies.
- Questions with reusable answers: if someone else will search for the same problem later, Reddit is where the answer should live.
How It Differs from Discord
The two communities serve different purposes, and we want to be clear about where each one shines so you can pick the right place for what you need.
Discord is for the moment. Quick questions, live troubleshooting, casual conversation, early feedback on something you're working on right now. It is fast and informal. Think of it as the workshop.
Reddit is for the record. Polished showcases, detailed write-ups, feature discussions that deserve time and thought, and anything you want other people to find through search. Think of it as the gallery.
Discord is where you ask "how do I do this?" Reddit is where the answer lives for the next person who has the same question.
You don't need to be in both. Some people prefer real-time chat, others prefer threaded posts. Use whichever fits how you like to communicate.
What We'll Be Posting
We plan to use the subreddit ourselves for a few things:
- Release notes: summaries of what changed and why, with space for discussion.
- Roadmap updates: what we're working on next, with context on the decisions behind it.
- Tips and techniques: short posts showing how to get more out of specific timeline components.
- Community highlights: surfacing great work from users who post their videos.
We want the subreddit to become a useful resource on its own, not just a notification feed. Every post should be worth reading whether you see it today or discover it in a search result next year.
Public by Default
One thing we like about Reddit is that it is public. You don't need an invite link or an account to read posts. That matters for discoverability. When someone searches "how to make an App Store preview video," we want useful answers from this community showing up in the results.
Discord is great for building relationships inside the community. Reddit is great for making the community visible from the outside. We need both.
