Hello! Iโ€™m excited to share that Iโ€™ve built a service that bridges Discord forum channels with the Fediverse, particularly with Lemmy communities!

In short: with the bot, you can either subscribe a Discord forum channel to an existing Fediverse community, or create a new federated community and assign a forum channel to it. Posts and comments are then synchronized between Discord and the Fediverse via ActivityPub.

Please note that the project is at a very early stage.

You can try it on your own on a dedicated Discord server I created:

https://discord.gg/8WXE9bZhbP

If you find it useful or interesting, or if you have any concerns about it, I am open to your feedback. Financial support for further development would also be very appreciated.

I have also created a dedicated community for this project, so you can write something there and the messages will be synchronized between Discord and the Fediverse:

[!discord_fediverse_bridge@bridge.nachitima.com](/c/discord_fediverse_bridge@bridge.nachitima.com)

To learn how the service works in more detail, you can read the README on the repository page:

And by the way, this post was created in Discord ๐Ÿ™‚

If I understood correctly the bridge requires the Forum type channel on the discord side, so posts can be mapped 1 to 1 into the fediverse.

To sort the replies into a lemmy-style thread the timing could be a decent way to group them, but the resulting thread would look less like a tree and more like multiple, possibly quite long chains of comments. This would also assume that Discordians only ever answer to the last message in the chat, which isn't actually the case. I think the only way to fix this would be to utilise some sort of natural language processing to figure out which message they're replying to, though I'd be curious how easy/difficult it would be to get decent results out of that

There is also a way to turn on a slow mode on discord channel side specifically to prevent very frequent message sending

Would slow mode merge multiple small messages or simply wait a bit and send them all in one payload?

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 ๐Ÿ™‚
