Maybe I'm the only one, but every time I open up Discord after a few days, I no longer see the Gremlin Icon for the Apache TinkerPop server, and have to find and click your invite link all over again. Discord then "welcomes" me into the #general channel. Might just be my inexperience with Discord; I haven't used it yet for anything else.
