I got distracted from my work so I made some Continuwuity propaganda. Continuwuity is a lightweights Matrix chat server that you can self-host pretty easily. Give it a try :3

    We really want to use Matrix so bad, but none of them have every feature we need to replace discord atm.

      It’s not really designed to be a Discord replacement. It’s a messaging app/protocol that can do voice/video calls. Discord is a passive state voice / video / text channel app that was designed to create spaces for different topics. Matrix has added a similar hierarchical feature as an option, but its not the same and I don’t think it was meant to be.

        We mean, overall we need something to text (plus send files), call, video/screen share and bonus for emojis, stickers and gifs. We get that discord and matrix isn’t really the same thing but the end result and use case is :/ So it would be a replacement for us

          overall we need something to text

          pretty much Matrix’s entire point

          (plus send files)

          also implemented in pretty much every server and client; I think even Element can send files

          call

          look into e.g. #matrixrtc:continuwuity.org — sable requires a setting to show the call button in non-DM rooms

          video/screen share

          unfortunately this is the only thing I’m not confident is supported

          bonus for emojis, stickers

          should be available with any im.ponies-compatible client such as sable
