We set up a bridge between the Lemmy.world General Matrix room and the Public-1 channel on the Lemmy World discord server yesterday. It’s not perfect as emoji reactions aren’t visible and some minor things like how it handles edited messages but other than that it seems to be working well.

Now people on both chat clients can interact with eachother!

    Discord should be abandoned as it’s not in the fediverse and especially because it’s not open source. This platform should never be used a an official place for one’s own platform.

      Bullshit. You should use the platform where most of your users are. And the users are on discord and do not give a single shit about open source.

      • This is the truth. Do people not have friends that mainly use mainstream services or are people just elitist about open source? This just sucks, because this kind of toxicity really drives normal users away from open source when more people should be driven to it.

          For us it’s about a community where we take care of our users and provide a environment to foster interesting and respectful conversation. Software is just a means to a end.

    What are recommended apps for Matrix on Android?

    I’m considering using it, but I don’t know much about Matrix clients.

      Two different, incompatible chat services exist - Discord and Matrix. This allows users of either service to post to a channel that has been connected on each side and messages are basically cross posted between the two, allowing users on each service to almost chat like they are all on the same channel despite being on two different chat services.
