  I’ve never tried Matrix but I’ve heard good things about it.

    It’s not as snazzy as Discord but it’s fully open-source and federated. So everyone can run their own server (I do, too). If you don’t care about running your own you can just sign up at https://app.element.io/ .

    It also offers many “bridges” to other protocols, like WhatsApp, Telegram, even Discord. Those are not quite as mature and mostly third-party provided but they generally work well.

    There’s a really great ansible playbook for installing your own. If you would like to have the full bridged experience, beeper is probably best.

      Thanks! I’ll have to see if there’s Docker containers available. Ansible is definitely doable too, but I prefer Docker. I’ll stick it on the same server I’m running Lemmy and Mastodon on :)

        Actually the ansible playbook creates a bundle of docker containers so you get the best of both :)
