Discord vs LinkedIn

Discord (A new way to chat with your communities and friends. Discord is the easiest way to communicate over voice, video, and text.) and LinkedIn both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

Discord (rank #103) holds a modest lead over LinkedIn (rank #338) on the overall Smoower ecosystem score (55 vs 43). The gap of 12 points reflects composite signals across code, docs, community and reach.

On code quality (the state of repositories, tests, releases and polish), LinkedIn is ahead of Discord. On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Discord is clearly ahead of LinkedIn. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), LinkedIn is ahead of Discord. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Discord is clearly ahead of LinkedIn.

Discord carries 28,570 GitHub stars across 327 public repos, with 36 repositories active in the last 90 days and 41 external contributors on record. LinkedIn shows 77,785 stars across 137 public repos, 28 active in the last 90 days and 52 external contributors.
