my main problem is issue cannot be searched on search engine

Chat and forum are different things and serve different purposes. Even matrix doesn't solve the search problem. Use a forum for this.

yeah that is why discord should not be used for problem-solving or archival purpose. Hell, even mastodon,reddit and lemmy can be indexed properly on search engine.

Mastodon and Lemmy could be indexed relatively easily, but as all social media it raises the problem of consent on broader decimation of content that's intended for a specific audience.
