Hi, I've been finding your videos very useful so I decided to purchases the neuron level patreon. Everything seems very good, but the discord link doesn't work. For some reason it just takes me to the app and does nothing. Is there any reason for this? For now I will just see if it works tomorrow. Kind regards and thanks for the helpful videos.
