Yes, we did it. We deleted our Sanity community Slack workspace with over 35,000 members.
It wasn't an accident. It wasn't done in rage. On the contrary!
We deleted the Slack workspace because we love the Sanity community and we wanted to give it a better home.
After seven years of building connections, solving problems, and growing together. It wasn't a decision we made lightly (in fact, we have been contemplating this since 2020), but it was the right move for our community's future.
If you haven't already, you should totally join now.
Slack has served us well since we started. It's where many of you first connected with us (some of you even joined our team after meeting us there!). The community feedback, bug reports, feature requests, and problem-solving that happened in our Slack workspace became the soul of our developer experience.
But Slack was never designed for growing communities like ours. Slack was always designed for workplace chats. Throughout the years, the free plan keeps getting more limited, and we needed better tools for community management. And it didn't make sense to pay thousands of dollars every month for software that doesn't really solve what we need it to solve.
Meanwhile, Discord has evolved from a gaming-focused platform to the go-to place for developer communities. Most popular frameworks and services have moved to Discord over the past couple of years. It's not perfect, but it's definitely more appropriate.
If you're new to Discord, it might feel a bit different at first. Give yourself time to get acclimated to the interface and organization. We've organized our Discord server into several categories to help you navigate and find what you need:
Stay connected with channels like #announcements for Sanity news and #introductions where you can meet fellow community members. Share your work in #showcase and get an instant serotonin boost by checking out the #pets channel.
Get help in the help channel, explore #getting-started resources, or dive into #deep-dives for advanced topics. In #ask-ai that has access to all of our docs as well as previous community conversations. We also have full time community support engineer that helps out in these channels.
Discuss specific Sanity features in channels like #functions, #canvas, and #blueprints. Here you'll often meet our product managers and engineers, who will both ask for feedback on new updates or help out when they have time.
Connect with others using your favorite frameworks (next-js, svelte, etc.) or discuss specialized topics like ecommerce integration. The Sanity community is blessed with folks who often have deep knowledge and a lot of experience with these technologies.
Join live discussions during Sanity events or participate in virtual community meetups.
Beyond the warm fuzzy feeling of being part of an awesome community, here's what you'll get from our Discord:
Whether you're a Sanity veteran or just getting started, our Discord community is the place to level up your content engineering skills.
One important thing to remember: while we've moved to Discord, our community isn't defined by the platform it lives on. The Sanity community is about the people, the knowledge sharing, and the connections we build together, wherever it happens.
The platform is just the venue: You are what makes the community special. Whether you're asking questions, sharing solutions, or showcasing your latest Sanity-powered project, you're contributing to a knowledge base and culture that extends far beyond any chat platform.
