Bit of a simple question: Some people on lemmy are still posting stuff from youtube, xitter and the like.

Have you gone full fediverse yet or how far are you?

  1. traded reddit for lemmy/kbin
  2. xitter for mastodon
  3. discord for matrix
  4. youtube for peertube

Obviously I also mean other alternatives. Which ones do you use and why?

Disclaimer: this question is me asking genuinely but also trying to make it fun by arbitrary ranking/escalating it. Not trying to say one is better than the others.

Not the shark fucker but could you send me the guide on how to do this? I would love to set this up. Also does it work for multiple accounts?

No worries. I will send you the link. It's actually surprisingly easy. You either need a matrix instance yourself or ask a matrix instance to install "mautrix-discord" https://github.com/mautrix/discord for you. You can then log in with your discord account and tadaa, done. It's easy as pie. Tchncs.de does this afaik.

If you want to self host, you need to set up a whole matrix installation first. You need a publicly available computer to set this up and pull a docker image of synapse and mautrix discord. The configuration is very advanced stuff so if you have done stuff like this before, you'll figure it out but if not, maybe ask your instance to do it for you.
