Comment on Would a fediverse alternative of Discord be possible?

  Well yes, that’s the problem. Matrix is just used for tech/troubleshoot issues and it’s buggy as hell.

  It isn’t a social experience like discord. It is a gap in the fediverse

    matrix can absolutely be a social experience. check out the 196 blahaj chat: matrix.to/#/#196-Blahaj:chat.blahaj.zone

      Its uses are few and far between. It seems to me a hypothetical federated Discord client needs to adopt the same model as the fediverse with community lookup functions where disord instances would federate with other discord instances and be able to browse rooms, in something akin to the Discord Discovery tool.

      Matrix just doesn’t offer that at all.

        yeah content discovery sucks unfortunately :(

    I exclusively use Mateo for social experiences. I’m in servers and group chats for clubs, communities, and even Lemmy instances. Works great

      How did you find them? How many people are in them? There’s no hub for community discovery for matrix-based communities, to my knowledge.

      As I said in another comment: It seems to me a hypothetical federated Discord client needs to adopt the same model as the fediverse with community lookup functions where the discord-like instances would federate with other discord instances and be able to browse rooms, in something akin to the Discord Discovery tool.

      Do you use voice chats in the same way that Discord allows you to? Can you hop in to an empty voice channel without having to initiate an end to end call?
