Check out this one: https://github.com/fedify-dev/drfed I haven't tested it yet, but looks promising. Devs are the same who made Fedify framework for building activitypub apps.
Simply wait a bit between sending messages. There would be enough time to edit the first message and add a follow up instead of sending a new one ๐
There is also a way to turn on a slow mode on discord channel side specifically to prevent very frequent message sending
Yeah that could be a safety mechanism for that kind of discord users who split a single thought into single messages. The user experience across platforms is different, for sure. Discord is more conducive to this type of communication.
I don't see any reliable workarounds for this, except for just knowing where you write and how it works. Methods, like you suggested, would be pretty hard to implement and they are more like a workaround from people who don't know how messages are displayed in Lemmy for example. Or simply don't want to write long texts.
I'm totally ok with writing longreads, I like it ๐
But I think it would make sense to add some sort of information about the Fediverse to the bridge registration page for example. So an uninformed user could learn first before actually starting to write. Thank you
Well, technically, it is possible to flood fedi instances with a huge amount of noisy content but it is always up to an instance admins whether to keep such data and continue federating with such instances. So as long as the bridge instance is not producing tons of unrelated content, it is ok for everyone, I believe. In the end, situations could be different.
Also, motivating people to use this bridge is not a very easy task, by the way ๐
The same works with other genuine federated platforms,doesnโt it? The amount of content in the fediverse would inevitably gradually increase over time as people become more aware of it
I havenโt considered any of it, because I just wanted to build it to use it on my own ๐ If someone in the world also finds it useful, then implementing some optimizations would not be a huge deal I believe. At least for personal use it is a working tool already
Exactly! Replies are also supported ๐
Matrix could be a good option: it supports encryption, self-hosting, though do not support topics in a way that Discord does, in terms of UX. There is also a Discord-like platform called Stoat. It does not support forum-type channels but the UI and UX is very similar to Discord and it is also a self-hosted platform. However, I am not aware of security part of it, it is easy to check. Self-hosting is always a quite a challenge to maintain, no matter what platform you choose. Matrix, on the other hand, is designed around security very hard, so I definitely would trust my data and security more to this platform.
