If I leave the `require_groups` empty, it doesnโt show up. But when I put `trust_level_0` in there it does work. Am I doing this right or wrong? Why would the `require_groups` be filled in, why not just always show it?

@AquaL1te
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Sorry, there was a minor bug in the code. Iโve resolved it, making the `require_groups` setting optional. If you update the theme this issue should no longer exist.

Is this slated for an update to meet the new [header specs](https://meta.discourse.org/t/upcoming-header-changes-preparing-themes-and-plugins/296544/1)?
I tried a naive fix on my own (still using the old script, pre theme-component days) and failed egregiously on a first pass. ๐ I figured Iโd pop in here to see whatโs going on before taking another swing at it.

Hi - this Widget looks really interesting and amazing. I was thinking about using this to better integrate the two communities. Does anyone have any feedback on how this is operating in production and any trends from their community?

Weโve had this widget in our Discourse forum for some time now, and itโs been great @Ari_Waller.
Unfortunately, we ran into a bug, so I filed [paviliondev/discourse-discord-widget#4](https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-discord-widget/issues/4). Would love some attention on that!

Is the #broken tag still relevant or did the lastest changes fix the component?
