Typst uses discord instead of matrix. Discord is proprietary and you can use discord only under discords terms which leaves out a couple of people. You can't just browse the chat rooms. It's not easy to use and simply behind modern open standards.
I mean that there is no proper forum for typst. E.g. https://discourse.julialang.org/ discourse.nixos.org/ https://discuss.grapheneos.org/ https://community.openstreetmap.org/ discussion.fedoraproject.org/ modern or updated projects all use discourse. There is no proper room where users can ask simple questions. Something like stack overflow but not stack overflow. A forum specifically for interested people. Github discussions should not be used for a user forum. Github discussions should be for discussions around the language, if you want to use github for that.
Ah ok I see where you're coming from. That all makes sense
