Reliable enough to start your morning with. Toast it again tomorrow.
Summary
A Discord server owner seeks advice on reviving their once-active DevOps-focused Discord server that now has 5,000 members but only 10-15 active participants. The server originally complemented their YouTube channel but has declined in engagement over time. They're asking the Hacker News community for strategies to revitalize the community and increase meaningful participation.
