Can anyone tell why use Slack ? (I had a hard time to join slack of kedro, spent 1hr+ just to join it as I was searching that how I could join it, You need to add a Link in Docs aswell bcz I was trying to join and found that one in docs isn't working so after 30 mins brute forcing, I opened the website and scrolled down in FAQ section I was about to leave it thinking that It is again a Troll Link but I believed that I should click it anyway so I clicked it and joined atlast. Just a suggestion correct the link in Docs and Why isn't discord being used it is easier and is better imo (except that 10MB limit thing but using a plugin will help bypass it) and It is easier aswell as one will need pro subscription of Kedro to even scroll up more than 90 Days )

Hey @VER SUS, thanks for flagging this — you’re right that the Slack invite link has been unreliable, and we’re sorry you had to spend over an hour just to join. That’s not the experience we want for anyone. Slack’s shared invite links expire periodically and need to be manually regenerated. We’ll look into a more permanent solution so this doesn’t keep happening. In the meantime, the quickest way to join is to go to slack.kedro.org. On the Discord suggestion — we appreciate the thought! We’ve considered it before, but Kedro’s community is largely data and ML engineers who are already on Slack in their day jobs, so it’s lower friction for most users. We also have a searchable archive that preserves messages beyond the 90-day free-tier limit. That said, we hear you on the accessibility point, and making the invite link more reliable and discoverable is something we’ll prioritize.

@Elena Khaustova Ah I see, thanks for clarifying the reasoning behind Slack. The searchable archive completely makes sense and solves the 90 day history issue. Since the invite links tend to expire, I'd love to help out. If the team is open to it, I can search the documentation files on GitHub and submit a quick Pull Request to update the broken landing page links to point directly to slack.kedro.org instead. Let me know if that would be helpful as a starting contribution.

Could you please share the page with the link which does not work for you?

@Elena Khaustova The broken card link was on the documentation welcome landing page. "docs.kedro.org/en/stable" I actually tracked it down in the repository code and just opened a quick Pull Request to fix it so future users don't hit the same wall! I updated it from the hardcoded login page to the dynamic redirect. Here is the PR: github.com/kedro-org/kedro/pull/5693

Please do it in the same PR

@Elena Khaustova Done now it's in the same PR
