I’ve been using Fluxer recently. It’s been pretty nice since they migrated the servers, and as soon as self-hosting and federation gets added (which is top priority according to Herman), I hope people will switch over.

Can’t wait until Fluxer is ready for full migration from Discord.

Federation and easy self hosting will be killer for sure. There is already a Discord migration bot and a Discord-Fluxer bridge bot I think. Future is looking hopeful.

Why use fluxer over Matrix?
Coelacanth@feddit.nu 1 day ago
Matrix still misses a ton of features to be a direct 1:1 Discord replacement. On top of that Fluxer has a familiar UI (it’s essentially just a Discord clone) and is simpler in onboarding (Matrix is still techy).

Fluxer is a direct Discord drop-in. Matrix requires a lot of setup and tweaking to get high throughput video. Plus the default server and client are bloated and buggy

I’m not sure why people keep repeating this. I’ve been running both for 6 months without issues (see recent comment about DB maintenance). Maybe it was true before and isn’t true anymore.

I just assumed the python one would be more bloated inherently, and that is the common theme I’ve heard about matrix specifically. I tried using an alternative server supposedly lighter on resources but just never finished setting up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I didn’t test the default server myself tho

Same. Waiting for it to get a bit more stable before I start pushing my less savvy friends to make the jump.
