I feel like we have a nice community on here that is quite lively and chatty, so I thought why not give an additional space for like-minded people to hang out and chat on!
I actually went through the trouble of making the server look somewhat decent, but this is the very first time I’m doing this, so do definitely let me know if I should do something differently and let me know if you have any tips.
I’d love to see you there, and I hope you’ll enjoy your time!
Edit: Right around after I launched the server, Discord decided to shit the bed, so we’re also offering a Matrix space as well. If you’re not on Matrix yet, creating an account is similar to how you’d create your account for Lemmy: you choose your host but can interact with all the other hosts.
Join my space /c/Soulslike https://matrix.to/#/#soulslike:matrix.org
Both servers are active, so you’re welcome to visit both!
Sorry I’ve only just seen this, I use both Stoat and Root mainly but there’s Fluxer chat too, I’d look around see what’s best for you
Hey, if you’re still interested in joining, we’ve set up a Matrix server as well. We’re still testing things, but it seems to be working quite well, a couple people have joined already. :)
Is there a bridge between the two servers or is it just one big headache of split conversations?
We have a bridge set up between their individual General channels. Works quite well actually
Neat, good to know! Also I guess you’ve settled on Matrix now but fwiw there is also a Discord-Fluxer bridge now if you want other Discord alternatives for the future.
Honestly, Matrix has been working well for text but we can’t figure out voice calls. Some Matrix programs allow for that right out of the box, others (like Element) don’t regardless of mobile or desktop access - it’s kind of a mess, really. Maybe checking out yet another platform might not be a bad idea. Although voice chat isn’t the focus of the channel but being able to just chat to one another, it’s definitely annoying
I know we’re on the Fediverse and all but I never really saw Matrix as a real 1:1 Discord replacement. Maybe it’ll get there one day though, who knows.
One can hope :)
