I know it was originally a spin off of the chapotraphouse subreddit but I don't know much else. Is it it still affiliated with the podcast? How has it grown etc? Why was the subreddit closed etc.
Give me the lore, baby

Actually the "ark discord," as it was called, was launched like the day before the ban (the ban was on June 29th 2020), someone who had word from a Reddit employee made a post about it (a lot of people thought it was fake and didn't believe it, but some people put together a discord server just in case). This Lemmy instance was then launched a little under a month later, and it was announced on the ark discord on like July 25th (I didn't see the message on the discord until a few days after it was posted).
I think there was an earlier discord that didnt take off as much that was around like, maybe even before the quarentine? I remember trying to join it, but being put off by their vetting process.
There was "Dirtbag HQ" which was around since well before the ban, I joined that but I don't recall any vetting process. There could well have been another discord though, I was a relatively casual user of the old sub for most of my time on it.
