is revolt good ? I'm in no desilusion that i'd be able to make my friends move away from discord, but maybe for new communities ?
Tried it for a bit... It's just there yet. Abd in the end wanted something I could self host like in the old days of Mumble and Teamspeak.
Went with a private matrix and element instance.
Have you been able to get screensharing with audio to work on Element? I haven't been able to determine if it's in Element Desktop or not. My understanding is that it has worked on some browsers, but I'm not sure about the electron app.
I haven't used it. I'm following a couple relevant threads on github and it seems to be an in-progress issue that nonetheless is intended to be a fully implemented feature.
Glad to hear that it's planned. It's the biggest hurdle to transitioning friends and family over.
I set up bridges for telegram, discord, and whatsapp. Most of them are STOKED to have all their contacts in one place, even if they still have to open the actual apps for certain features.
I just open schildi on my phone and start scrolling past users from different platforms and they go "GIVE ME THAT"
It's definitely not bad, it has some features discord is still missing. But if you looking for an alternative it's for sure the thing to check out! Also it is opensource which is quite neat! https://github.com/orgs/revoltchat/repositories
Is it self-hostable? That's the thing I'm missing from the Mumble / Teamspeak days.
Yeah, you can check it out over here: https://github.com/revoltchat/self-hosted Keep in mind tho, there is no federation going on to other instances of revolt.
Thanks for the link. That's ok about federation, I was really just looking for a self-hosting option. Thanks for the info!
First time I've heard of it. Just seems like a Discord clone, and there's no real reason not to use discord to chat
