Fix Broken Slack Links on Community Page

This PR addresses the issue where the Slack link on the /community page doesn't work anymore, showing "This link is no longer active" message.

Updated Community Page

Changes made:

  • Analyze the repository structure and locate Slack link references
  • Identify the correct Slack invitation URL format
  • Update all user-facing Slack links to use https://valkey.io/slack
  • Remove unused config variable
  • Test the fix by building the site
  • Verify the links work correctly through the redirect

Root cause:
The community page and blog post were using malformed Slack URLs that included invalid fragments.

Centralized approach:
All user-facing Slack links now use https://valkey.io/slack which provides a consistent, maintainable URL that redirects to the current Slack invitation. The redirect is handled by content/slack.md which contains the actual invitation URL.

Files changed:

  • content/community.md - Updated to use https://valkey.io/slack
  • content/blog/2025-08-04-valkey-swift/index.md - Updated to use https://valkey.io/slack
  • config.toml - Removed unused configuration variable

This approach ensures all Slack links are consistent and maintainable, with only the redirect page needing updates when the invitation URL changes.

Fixes #365.

LGTM - I tested and it seems to work but I suspect Slack is doing some hocus pocus that might be making this non-deterministic.

At least this is a step in the right direction though.
