Lemmy Discord Server? (sh.itjust.works)

Howdy,

I'm an avid Discord user and always involved in the Discord communities of various subreddits and the Reddit discord itself.

I'm also interested in developing third party apps for Lemmy, and would like a community where I can chat and bounce ideas off others on the subject. Discord normally is the easiest as it's real time chat and whatnot.

Is there an official Lemmy Discord server available? Or perhaps one for developers?

The Jerboa app has a matrix room: https://matrix.to/#/#jerboa-dev:matrix.org

So does lemmy itself: https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy:matrix.org

Matrix is to discord, like what lemmy is to reddit.

Cool, just set mine up. The fediverse is a pretty big place. Here's a couple of pages that helped me figure it out.

Discord is really bad for technical discussions because information gets lost and isn't available outside of Discord. An open IRC server would be better suited for this.

Please just use a matrix room.

[–] nachtigall@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

There is a Matrix space.

I don‘t think there is.

There is nothing stopping you from creating a developer discord.

but why? It's like jumping from the frying pan into the flames. Discord is corporate owned, has terrible privacy policies and can't be searched. The content is a nightmare to find and it's just a BAD idea all up. If people thought reddit was bad, just wait for the discord of the discordocolipse when it comes.
