Bit of a simple question: Some people on lemmy are still posting stuff from youtube, xitter and the like.

Have you gone full fediverse yet or how far are you?

  1. traded reddit for lemmy/kbin
  2. xitter for mastodon
  3. discord for matrix
  4. youtube for peertube

Obviously I also mean other alternatives. Which ones do you use and why?

Disclaimer: this question is me asking genuinely but also trying to make it fun by arbitrary ranking/escalating it. Not trying to say one is better than the others.

Very relatable. Whatsapp is very baked into our lives here as well. There is a solution though. Matrix has bridges for most of the IMs out there. You only use matrix and can chat with most others like discord, whatsapp, signal, telegram etc.

    Is it hard to setup? Because it sounds too good to be easy. It doesn't matter a lot to me, on the contrary, I'm interested in a a setup that centralizes all of my IM apps, and I'm willing to invest efforts to make it happen.

    Great attitude! :)

    It’s not hard if you selfhosted something before. I just decided to make a video about this since so many people ask how to do it.

    You will need a computer that runs 24/7 though. You could technically run it at home but port forwarding is a security risk so you should be pretty advanced to do that.

    Iβ€˜d rather you rent a small vps at serverhunter.com for 5-10 bucks a month. Please be aware that you need backups. Otherwise you will be sad.

    Will try to edit my post when the vid is done.
