04/12/2022, 8:17 PMHaha, yeah, I'm having a hard time thinking up an Android question, which is exclusively related to Kotlin and not the SDK

04/12/2022, 8:22 PMit's also not every question...but folks forget this isn't a pure Android channel.
It's an Android channel on a *KOTLIN SLACK SERVER"

04/13/2022, 1:45 AMVery confusing to me also sometimes 😄
Compose channel can talk about Compose only stuff, but Android channel must be only Android + Kotlin

04/13/2022, 2:10 AMCompose channel can talk about Compose only stuffIt’s because Compose is 100% Kotlin library and Kotlin compiler plugin which can be used only with Kotlin, so it has own channel here (same as many other Kotlin libraries in this) It’s matter of topic, topic of this channel to discuss Android and Kotlin specific questions But Android is not exclusively Kotlin, there is a plenty of Android specific communities

04/13/2022, 2:30 AMThanks for the explanation 😄
But I wanna know, and if (in compose channel) I ask something about compose that is not related to Kotlin… is it valid?

04/13/2022, 2:35 AMWell, I believe everything what related to compose is related to Kotlin 🙂
There is no other Compose community, Kotlin Slack is home for it

04/13/2022, 2:39 AMI would say that it’s the same as you can ask anything related to Ktor in #ktor channel, it will be on topic, but if you will ask general backend questions it will be offtopic. Same about #compose channel, if question is related to compose is on topic, if it related to Android in general and not related to Compose, it’s offtopic
