       Ask HN: Revive a mostly dead Discord server
        
       Hello :-)  I have a Discord server I set up a long time ago. Around
       2016 I think. Back then, it was lively and active and loads of fun.
       Over time it's developed close to 5,000 members (it actually had
       over 5,000 members at one point) and currently has 501 members
       online as I type this. It's more likely there's about 10-15 that
       are paying attention to anything happening.  It's a Discord that
       originally focused on DevOps. It complemented my YouTube channel on
       the same topic, but since then, as it's slowly died out, and my
       channel's focus as shifted and changed, it's become a bit of a
       waste land.  It's a shame really, because a really fun Discord
       server can be a great place to be, but I'm not sure where to take
       it now.  How would you handle this situation? What would be your
       approach to reviving the Discord and perhaps trying to get a
       community of like minded hackers going again in 2026?  I won't link
       the Discord here as I'm not trying to beg for users or spam. I just
       genuinely want to work on a solution to improve the life of the
       server. I will put it in my HN profile, though, so if you do want
       to check it out that extra step is required.  Are people even
       interested in Discord servers any more? I don't know.  Thanks in
       advance.
