Upvoted for visibility. Saved for later.

Forgotten in an instant.

(But more seriously, thank you for the info. This looks involved, so I may attempt it this weekend. Discord declined so rapidly I had to stop using it before finding an alternative.)

    I just did this to test out the process for a client who has to replace skype in their workplace, and it wasn't bad.

    I looked up servers on the web, picked the privacy DIY server, installed Element app, registered in the app using a "token" from the server website, confirmed via email - web link, and done, about 15 minutes plus figuring out the token part (had to reread instructions).

    Does this mean we need to be hosting an email server too? I should just go look at the docs lol, this news might push me over the edge.

    Ah I guess that was confusingly written, no you just need to have an email address to register an account, and when you register you get a verification email at that address and click on the link in the email to verify. Like almost any other social media.
