Related to KEEPs, there are a couple problems imo with the way Discussions are handled by GitHub.
• GitHub displays Issues on the dashboard's Recent Activity, which means they're immediately visible (I don't forget about them) and I can see when they've been updated as they raise up to the top.
• GitHub doesn't display the count of open Discussions, and it may look like there are none to someone that's never, or rarely, used them.
On the other hand what I like about Discussions is I can order by most upvoted thread. Tho, I don't like that thread upvotes are separated from reactions.
