We know most of you were thrilled about our Discord server, so we decided to make you even happier with our very own space on matrix!
-
There is an announcement room for all the latest and greatest about Lemmy World: https://matrix.to/#/#announcements:lemmy.world
-
A General channel where everyone is welcome to join and talk: https://matrix.to/#/#general:lemmy.world
And lastly, this one is more for admins of other instances but we have opened a “LW Defense HQ” room which we want to use in our ongoing fight against spammers: https://matrix.to/#/#defense:lemmy.world
Come join us!
EDIT: Madlad @ruud@lemmy.world was easily convinced to set up a lemmy.world matrix server. So I edited the links to the new space and rooms. The old ones still work too!
That means you can now also sign up for a Lemmy World matrix account. Instructions in this comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/3443207
No, it has some differences. We don’t have channels but spaces, which in discord terms are groups of different discord “servers”. For example you can create a Lemmy space with different rooms (matrix equivalent of discord servers) like general, coding, fediverse etc. Inside the Lemmy space. Currently video calls are a bit finicky but it’s still pretty good. Especially with E2E. For a complete clone you can use rocket.chat
Aren’t spaces more or less the building block for “servers”? i.e. can’t you basically have channels by grouping rooms in a shared space?
Spaces are similar to discords servers/guilds yeah, but rooms don’t have to be in a space and they can be in as many spaces as anyone wants
that’s the alternative approach that matrix took. Probably has to do with technical things I don’t know about. But they a little bit inconvenient and less smoother than what discord has.
It is just a matter of presentation by the client. Hopefully they figure out how to join all rooms in a space at once to make switching “channels” more smooth.
Yeah. However, currently I don’t know of any clients that do that specifically. Currently, I use schildichat (fork of element with ACTUAL linux support). I would like to use Nheko but it’s E2E implementation hasn’t been audited.
Native group calls are being actively worked on with element call and what Do you mean by channels?
I know, it’s great! But I am just saying that it’s not there yet. But hopefully soon!
#general, #gaming etc. in discord. https://sh.itjust.works/comment/3298872
You can kinda have that with spaces, I don’t see any reason why clients couldn’t sort them like discord does, would probably need something added to the spec so they can be sorted a certain way if users wanted to
