I pop in to this Lemmy community every once and a while hoping for new content or discussions, but there is not a ton of activity. I ended up finding the FreeCAD discord channel and it seems to have a ton of engagement/activity, so I wanted to share. (but still post here, I would love to see this community become more active).
Also, the users on the discord are super helpful...like, insanely helpful. I am still learning, so it has been priceless for me (along with MangoJelly on YouTube)

OP found the discord not created it. I think it's nice they shared it, maybe it could help someone.
I know one related matrix/irc channel, OsArch: https://osarch.org/chat/ #OSArch:matrix.org It's mostly about BlenderBIM, but a lot of FreeCAD user hangs out there.

Correct. I was struggling with a design ..(I am very new to cad) I normally would have gone to reddit, but since I quit reddit with the drama, I came here. Not much going on so I had to look elsewhere. I didn't make the channel, I think it is an official channel. Maybe...? Regardless. They have helped me a ton. One of the users actually recreated my design the "proper" way so I could achieve what I needed.

It's bridged to Matrix. Not sure about IRC but I think the libera.chat bridge is gone.

I'm having trouble finding a discord link that works, this one and the ones in the official forum all don't allow me to join..
