IIUC, for now, it will just be that Mastodon users can follow a category on a Discord site, which means that they will see when new topics (threads) are created there (along with an excerpt of the initial post in each topic).

@cypherpunks So, no different from RSS or Atom?

basically, yeah. but mastodon can't subscribe to rss/atom feeds, so (butterfly meme) is this... progress? 🤷

@cypherpunks yet. Apparently OStatus could import them natively or something

@cypherpunks why do you need them in Mastodon anyway? Just use a feed reader

I'd be more interested in connecting lemmy with discourse, as it's a more natural fit, and I'm assuming easier too since they're partially copying lemmy's approach.
