Was wondering if any of you would like a Discord server for the community or would it be worth waiting a bit?

    I’m going to suggest Matrix (or an old school IRC) over Discord at this point. No reason to direct from lemmy back to a closed commercial ecosystem.

      Precisely as I stated earlier. I think Fosscord is probably the best solution, once we have access to a Spacebar (i.e. Fosscord) client build (their entire site has been pulled down).

        I’ve never heard of Fosscord - why that vs Matrix?

          Familiarity, if anything. Since it’s basically Discord but self hosted and open source, I think a lot more users will have an easier time with it.

            I just got on Matrix recently, and in my limited use it seems basically Discord to me? At least if you use Element Web UI I guess.
