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!

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

Is Matrix just a fediverse equivalent to Discord?

[-] lieuwex@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 year ago

Well, it's not called fediverse specifically in the case of Matrix. But yeah, it is a federated alternative to Discord.

[-] smileyhead@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

Matrix is a federated protocol to build real-time data sharing apps. Mostly focuces on chat apps.

It has flexible model of rooms. You can create room with 2 people that behave like WhatsApp chat, invite more and you have group chat, make room of rooms (called spaces) that works like Discord communities, also there are video rooms in the way that would work like mix of Discord voice channels with invite links like Zoom. Room is decentralized across multiple servers and to add people you eather invite or create a public alias (like #general:lemmy.world).

This is a very good explanation.

Its closer to a texting app from my experience

I'm sure Discord CAN behave as a texting app too
