We know most of you were thrilled about our Discord server, so we decided to make you even happier with our very own space on matrix!

There is an announcement room for all the latest and greatest about Lemmy World: https://matrix.to/#/#announcements:lemmy.world
A General channel where everyone is welcome to join and talk: https://matrix.to/#/#general:lemmy.world

And lastly, this one is more for admins of other instances but we have opened a "LW Defense HQ" room which we want to use in our ongoing fight against spammers: https://matrix.to/#/#defense:lemmy.world

Come join us!

EDIT: Madlad @ruud@lemmy.world was easily convinced to set up a lemmy.world matrix server. So I edited the links to the new space and rooms. The old ones still work too!

That means you can now also sign up for a Lemmy World matrix account. Instructions in this comment: https://lemmy.world/comment/3443207

Did you know you can bridge matrix to discord? So your discord users can talk to your matrix users?

[-] antik@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'm aware but we haven't given it a try yet. Does it work well and is it for room/channel or server/space?

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 year ago

it's for channel - room communication. It works well, unless you have a spam problem on matrix because then they bypass the anti-spam protections of discord. but if you don't have a spam problem, it's great

https://t2bot.io/discord/ is a free discord bridge you can use or host your own since the bridge is fully open source

I tried this one but it doesn't do emoji reactions and such. Is that because of the bridge software or is it technically not possible?

[-] ninchuka@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not 100% sure, I would ask in the support room for the bridge which should be on that page

[-] lieuwex@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

I think the problem was that they use a bot at the discord side, which can only react a specific emoji once.

That is so cool, I'm gonna have to try Matrix

Yes but no. Yes, technically possible. No, I don’t think it’s what you’re looking for - you’d want to create your own bot for your own account (each user needs its own bot), and it’s technically against Discord TOS to use, so use at your own risk.

[-] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

No each user doesn't need their own bot you just add one bot on the matrix side and one in the discord side

[-] dipshit@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Can you share what type of bot you’re using? The last time I tried this, I had to add a personal app key for the bot, which was linked to my account. It created a bunch of discordbot profiles, one for each user in my contacts, and added them to the server. I’m not positive but I think that anyone who messages these profiles will be messaging my contacts, though I think they didn’t appear in the directory by default. Either way, if anyone wanted to setup a new user, they would need to go through the same process I did, which includes having admin access to the server.

Where did I go wrong?
