    Can someone help me figure out if matrix/element would work for what I need? So far it looks decent, but my main issue is figuring out integrations/bots.

    Is there a way to integrate something like PluralKit there?

    Matrix does have a bot API, but there is not even close to as robust an ecosystem of bots to choose from. Whatever you want is probably possible, but depending on your needs you may have to write it yourself.

    That makes sense. Thank you!!

    Is Matrix a self-hosted alternative to Discord? I've been looking for one but the closest I can find is RocketChat, which is meant more for corporate environments. I'm going to be launching a radio station for Lemmy soon and I need a suitable solution for chat platform that I can integrate with my website (and eventually app).

    Matrix is sort of a mishmash of things, not a fan of the UX but it has federation and encryption and isn't Discord, and also has bridges to various platforms
