Discord is like an over bloated IRC, I wish IRC was more common these days because it is just better for chat. But using discord as a forum alternative is hilariously stupid.

I tried to get into IRC, but it lacked a lot of things that are basic nowadays, such as the ability to view past history of the chat and embedding media. I didn't want to sit around for hours just to see what people would write about.

Having some limited history would be nice, yeah. I actually prefer the lack of embedded media though. I can click a link to look at it, and I'm happy to not have a bunch of images, gifs, and embedded videos crowding out conversation.

Look up IRC bouncers in that case to see chat history. Given this is lemmy I am sure you can just add it to your Linux server.

Thanks for the nudge. Today might be the day I actually dive into this stuff!
