Who went "full fedi" yet?
Bit of a simple question: Some people on lemmy are still posting stuff from youtube, xitter and the like.
Have you gone full fediverse yet or how far are you?
- traded reddit for lemmy/kbin
- xitter for mastodon
- discord for matrix
- youtube for peertube
Obviously I also mean other alternatives. Which ones do you use and why?
Disclaimer: this question is me asking genuinely but also trying to make it fun by arbitrary ranking/escalating it. Not trying to say one is better than the others.
You're viewing a single thread.
Basically everything except discord. I don't use Twitter or anything like that so mastodon isn't my thing
Ah! The sharkfucker again! We two should link on matrix since we always bump into one another. :) seems like we frequent similar communities. Feel free to add me @haui:matrix.giftedmc.com
And you could use a discord bridge as well. It takes over your discord account and poses as you and you can have all your chats as matrix rooms and places. Pretty insane. I learned that this week.
Have a good one!
Not the shark fucker but could you send me the guide on how to do this? I would love to set this up. Also does it work for multiple accounts?
No worries. I will send you the link. It's actually surprisingly easy. You either need a matrix instance yourself or ask a matrix instance to install "mautrix-discord" https://github.com/mautrix/discord for you. You can then log in with your discord account and tadaa, done. It's easy as pie. Tchncs.de does this afaik.
If you want to self host, you need to set up a whole matrix installation first. You need a publicly available computer to set this up and pull a docker image of synapse and mautrix discord. The configuration is very advanced stuff so if you have done stuff like this before, you'll figure it out but if not, maybe ask your instance to do it for you.
Tis I, the sharkfucker
Currently I use vendetta for discord which is an open source discord client and while I'm pretty happy with it I suppose it could be better at times.
What are the merits of matrix? What is it exactly? Is there a mobile apk? How do I go about this?
It is a protocol. Element or fluffychat are two clients.
The main benefit is you can host it yourself. Fully encrypted, stored on a server you either own or know the owner/location of.
No ads, nitro or otherwise.
You can bridge discord and nearly all other messaging apps like whatsapp, signal, fb messenger etc
Its pretty huge imo.
