We link to it on the https://www.freedos.org/forums/ ("Ask a
question") page, at the bottom. We also list the Facebook group, DOS
Ain't Dead Forum, and the Slack forum. But these are all unofficial
channels, so there's a note that says "These are not official FreeDOS
discussion channels but other FreeDOS users and developers sometimes
discuss FreeDOS there:"

Using an "alternate" discussion board instead of the email list comes
up from time to time, but the email lists (freedos-devel &
freedos-user) are the official channels and I'd prefer to keep
discussion focused on either of the email lists (freedos-user for
general "how do I.." questions, and freedos-devel for FreeDOS & DOS
programming questions). For example, we used to have an IRC channel
(long ago) that we dropped because [1] no one was really using it and
[2] no one noticed in the rare times when a new user asked a question
there.


**Bernd: If you decide to retire the Matrix board, let me know (send
me an email) so I can remove the link from the website.
