Comment on Discord walks back age verification fears for most users

And I believe the devs are working on adding discord-like channels with multiple groups under a single community.

If you have a link to a discussion or issue where they’re tracking this, I’d love to follow it.

They’ll also need to figure out how to let rooms have more than 1000 people, which is currently the limit on Movim (and it might be an XMPP limitation). Right now, Matrix seems like the only option for a Discord migration, but I hope that changes soon.

I might move my Discord community to Matrix, but I’d want a full 100% clone of the server’s history. Seems like that’s almost possible? Discord scrapers can dump a whole channel to JSON, and the Mautrix Discord bridge already make it look like real users sent bridged messages. I think with a little customization, the Mautrix bridge could be modified to import an enormous JSON file to fully mirror an entire Discord server, instead of just grabbing messages in real time.

I really hope someone works on that soon 🙏

They’ve mentioned needing to accelerate the development of it on their Mastodon account in light of the Discord blunder, such as here, and they just had a user poll there that resulted in Discord-like grouped channels/spaces being the most requested.

I just imported a server with bridge.

  Every messages in your server’s entire history, or just the channel layout?
  
  I know the Mautrix bridge can create the channels for you, but their backfill feature was not designed for full archival, it can’t really do that.

    I didn’t have a problem doing it. It took a while but it was fine. Some of the channels needed a little help, but it was just a matter of reconnecting them. Our server has been around for years too.

    So it was all of your messages?
    
    Can you explain what bridge you used and how you got the whole history moved over?
