1st Feb is #GlobalSwitchDay
(thelemmy.club)
Today the first of Feb is Global Switch day, Spread awareness of the Fediverse in your communities.
Revolt (now known as Stoat) isn't federated though.
Well damn, I need to update the pic I guess. I didn't make it, just saved it some months ago
Is there a federated version, either in the works or planned? Because otherwise, Stoat is the only option.
Yes
Matrix
Matrix just isn't up to it. It doesn't feel like Discord at all. It hasn't taken off in any meaningful way.
None of those really "feel like" the things they're replacing. I don't really even think that should be the goal. They occupy the same space, though, and the infographic would look stupid if it showed all the options in some category, so they just picked a popular proprietary/centralized one, and a popular federated alternative in the same category. In this case discord is a popular chat app, and the most popular federa chat app afaict is matrix.
True, Matrix is going to win currently by default of there being no other alternative, but it just isn't being used in the way Discord is even if you assume a smaller scale.
No.
Other alternatives are Root, not federated.
There's also Roomy in development which is federated, and will tie into Bluesky.
Links?

Thank you.
Roomy says they plan to integrate federation in the future, though it doesn't have it now.

Maybe add Matrix as a Discord alternative?
The Element application is solid now. Still I think it'd be a rough transition for most discord users. But more users probably means more potential for developer interest
Eh, kind of. I have almost 300 unread message notifications I cannot get rid of. I have scrolled up as far as I can then slowly back down. I have gone into threads and done the same.
Last time I checked theirs still no channels ? Discoverability is not really their ethier only active one I really found was the monero one
It now has workspaces (it's called servers in Discord) and there you can have chats, which are basically channels like in Discord.
Fair point,
I omitted Facebook in my image because fuck that kind of social media (my opinion)
I picked PieFed over Lemmy because UX is everything and currently PieFed has much better UX.
Fuck that kind of social media but tiktok and Instagram are better?????
