Now that people have moved from reddit to lemmy I’m glad to be using more FOSS software. Now all that’s left is discord but I can’t find a good replacement.

@Secret300 This really depends heavily on what parts of #Discord you’re trying to replace, as nothing currently has a 1:1 similarity with it. #Matrix will likely get you most of what you want but self-hosting it can be quite a sizable task. #Mumble is an excellent choice if your main concern is voice rooms, text chat is not so great. The ““best”” option would probably be to mix mumble with xmpp, as both do what they’re designed to do very well and are also quite easy to maintain.
Is self hosting Matrix really that hard? So far it looks like matrix is what I want. They don’t have good voice features right now but it looks like they are working on it
@Secret300 I wouldn’t say it was hard. The replication part of matrix can get very big, very fast. If you’re not prepared for that, it could easily get out of hand.
So basically have a lot of storage ready?
