Maybe navigating is the wrong term. It's just impossible to find stuff relevant to me on discord. On any given larger server, there may be a few channels I could be interested in - but they are just a single chat log, often with lots of off-topic spam, and many different people having almost separate discussions at the same time. On any given larger phpBB, stuff is mostly separated into different threads with all the off-topic posts being delegated to a single thread. It's better searchable and better organized.
What even is "relevancy"? Their search is just a search by matching keywords. There isn't a magic algorithm discord uses. Every time I had an issue with some sort of bug or function I just search for specific keywords and 9/10 times I find something. On the odd-chance I don't then I'll behave like a human being and ask. I just don't get what's wrong with that? You can already limit those keyword searches with specific constraints so you don't get much noise.
