Maybe use Matrix or XMPP for that? They're both much better than the dumpster fire discord is.

[–] tilefan@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

are there active communities on either of those?

no idea, but be the change you wish to see in the world. Send me a link to the room and I'll join (:

They specifically asked about active communities. What use is a recommendation to another platform with fewer active communities?

What client do you use for matrix? I'm still shopping around.

[–] gregor@gregtech.eu 2 points 2 months ago

Element on desktop and Schildichat, a fork of Element, on mobile. I used to use element on mobile too but it was soooooo slow. Also, which homeserver are you going to use? Don't use matrix.org, it's too full and slow. envs.net or tchncs.de are cool. If you want, I can register you an account on my own server, gregtech.eu.
