Is there a distant chat channel like discord or something like this:chat.inkscape.org
No, there isnāt a IRC channel for Synfig.
AFAIK, official āplacesā for discussions and reports are this forum and Github repository.
Ok thanks for the info.
Should we create a Discord server for Synfig ?
Officially or unofficially ?
Itās just a good place to interact with community members, fast and quickly.
Lately, Discourse has a built-in Chat plugin, not activated here.
Iām not sure this would be so much great to activate it for several reasons:
- Forums/IRC/Github are public and the communications benefit everyone
- Our users are spread on different time zones and the interaction could be ālimitedā
- We may not be able to filter the users having access to the chat, I donāt want the youngest of our users to be contacted by āThe best escorts in Mumbaiāā¦
- As a possibility, our users can still use PM to exchange their email or chat/voice chat contact information
This is only my personal opinion (yeah, I know Iām a bit boring sometimes ^_^), the decision would be up to @KonstantinDmitriev

Did you mean Telegram Group ?
Telegram channels are just one way broadcast messages. Usually used for sending updates and notifications to user.
Telegram groups on other hand are Group Chats where everyone can send and receive messages.
Telegrams groups are ideal for small groups.
I really donāt care about what platform is being used, just anyway for quick communication is good.

You could start from here Telegram: Contact @morevnaproject_en
Yes, I meant Telegram Group, sorry.
I suggest to make a dedicated Telegram Group for Synfig, where users can communicate and help to each other.
But personally I think the problem with telegram groups is that it would be difficult to split them up according to topics, unless telegram allows it ?
I have seen other orgs using slack/matrix/similar stuff I remember gnome was using one of them and they had all sorts of different channels/groups for different topics and it was really good and organised.
However, maybe if itās going to serve a single small purpose it could be an easy way of getting something set up quickā¦
I am starting a Discord Server.
I am also a noob at setting these things up, will learn along the way, about being a moderator on the Discord server. Hope we will not be flooded by Spam in the mean time. Requesting everyone to join.
I am also starting a Telegram group. So that we have a many different ways mediums for communication.
Telegram allows us to create āTopicā which are similar to channels on Discord. I have created a few Topics on Telegram.
Motive behind these quick communication mediums is to facilitate faster communication and also provide more opportunity for communication by reducing complexity, and simplifing ways to get help as well as provide help to others.
It feels unsure to create a new topic here on Discourse, users are filled with doubts
āShould I create a new topicā
āIs the solution already availableā
āAm I creating too much topicsā
āWill this annoy the moderatorsā
āThat topic is related to this, should I continue that topic?ā
āThat topic is too old, not sure if I revive it nowā
ā¦ and so much
While on TG or Discord, asking tiny simple doubts are acceptable, and many times user are already familiar with environment of Telegram and Discord, they start communicating easily, rather than setting up a acocunt here, and coming back to check if anyone has responded, etc.
I request everyone to join whichever platform that suits well.
@BobSynfig , if possible pin this message.
Donāt forget to do some reporting about topics talked about on these channels.
The goal of the forums is to build a kind of knowledge base that will be used as a reference for users that will encounter the same issues later and use (letās dream about it) the search function before to post.
In my opinion, (any type of) forum should be used as a base of feedback to build a wiki and to archive the topics afterwards.
But it is rarely the case 
I just joined,I think discord is best for this. Yāall should join too.
Also, I want to contribute this hover increment feature to the parameters edit side, similar to a design to I use, itās better than manually tapping + or -,
You basically hover on the numeric parameters and the icon switches to scroll, and on tap and drag up increases the value, the reverse decreases it
