I spent nearly three hours today between discord and matrix trying to figure out how to get these two pieces of software to talk using a certain protocol.
Imagine if there were online indexable platforms where people could publish this information so it’s easily accessible rather than having to scour through message logs hoping to find the right keywords. Such a technology surely doesn’t exist already, right?
I hate discord.
I don't hate Discord, I simply hate that so many projects and companies have unanimously decided to use it as the wrong tool for the wrong job.
It's fine for its intended use case, which is bickering with my friends about video games and fiction, and spamming each other with .gifs and meme images.
Discord is genuinely a great tool for what I used to use Skype for. Talking to my friends, and sharing dumb memes with them in a groupchat format. Companies need to learn that using it as a forum, a Q&A service, a wiki or any other information sharing purpose, is simply fucking removed.
Language.
We can't say the F-word on Lemmy?
That's removed!
Hey now you can't say the R word that no longer dsm-5 compliant
Yeah, but then you have something like when people protest deleted their history on reddit which is fine as a protest tactic but leaves a hole where your specific question came up but now there's nothing there.
you get it to work? i didnt have time to get it working in both directions. matrix to discord worked fine but not the other way.
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here. I do not use any bridge between the two, but rather searched in separate communities for my answer. Would've been lovely if I could just use a search engine to search indexed forums or so, but since for some reason chat clients have taken the place of forums that's just not doable.
I'd like to move away from Discord but sadly a bunch of friends still use it. I haven't read up enough about the bridge thing to figure out if it actually serves a purpose I'd be interested in or not.
You mean NNTP ?
