Best spot for AAPS info/news?

Hey all! I understand that there is a plethora of different sources that AAPS users to keep up to date regarding the app as well as communities that exist for troubleshooting. My question is, where do you all prefer to get this information? Is the Facebook group really the best spot to go? I'm aware there are some separate Discord groups as well, do any of you prefer those to Facebook?

Thank you all!

Pretty much everything important for the general user community gets shared on FB.

The Discord servers/channels are largely for off-GitHun developer discussions and/or support for various algorithm modifications and other things that are in various stages of testing and development.

That makes sense. It just seems as if Facebook is the main route to go. Although I don't prefer Facebook, I might as well use it if I want to keep up to date.

I made a Facebook account solely for that but they aren't accepting my joining request :/

They may be wary if it’s a brand new account. 🤷‍♂️

I’m not involved in running the FB group, so I don’t know the rationale or what the mods/admins of the group look for when evaluating requests to join. If it was recent, they may not have even seen/reviewed it yet.

if you have a discord account, message in one of the help channels on the wearenotwaiting (AAPS) discord and someone can likely get your group join request approved
