I’ve gotten into Duolingo speedrunning, and I’m pretty good at it, and I want to compete against others. Are there any Duolingo speedrunning communities or Discord servers around?

    Lemmy doesn’t really have the traffic to support ultra-niche communities in general yet, sadly.

    It doesn’t even seem to be a category on speedrun.com, yet so I’d start with creating that first.

      Thanks, I think that it’s because probably some people speedrun Duolingo, but it’s just not popularized

    I can’t say I’ve ever heard of Duolingo speedrunning, but I already love the concept.

    I’m very interested in your retention! Are you able to actually learn stuff?

      I don’t really get the question, do you mean like how do I memorize the words in a Duolingo lesson?

          Yes, I sometimes use (virtual) flash cards to help me remember the words in the languages I do. I do a few flash cards, and add a few words to the deck after I do a lesson.

            But do you actually gain any ability to read and write the language outside of duolingo

              Yes. I do speedrunning mostly just for fun, and I do most of my Duolingo lessons normally.

      I don’t think they’d be too pleased, directing OP to a community about language learning is like directing someone interested in a brick throwing competition to a masonry community

    Were there Duolingo speedrunning communities in other websites like Reddit and Twitter, or is this something you’re trying to get off the ground?
