Doesn't even come close to Zulip in terms of features.

Zulip used to have a really neat feature where you could open up certain channels to be indexable by search engines. Basically turning it into an open forum. The feature is still sorta around but completely broken. Quite unfortunate imo. It was a really neat solution to the walled garden problem with team chats

Zulip product lead here -- I'm not aware of anything in this space that used to work and no longer does.

There's long been a way to make Zulip channels searchable with zulip-archive (https://github.com/zulip/zulip-archive), and that continues to be available.

Making the app-native web-public channels accessible to search engines is a big technical project, tracked as https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/21881.

Ah thanks for the correction. For some reason I mixed up Zulip with Linen.dev

I guess this feature has been requested for Zulip for a long time
