Hey folks, given the shit show with Discord, another community I'm part of on Discord is wondering whether to move to Matrix. Was wondering if there's an unadvertised Matrix server that someone at Fedecan is already hosting?

Ever since I joined lemmy.ca, I tried to find a Canadian matrix server. Lots of Mastodon servers but could not find a matrix one.

Seconding the desire for some Canadian discord alts

I hate to say it but the best way to convince the team to create a Discord alt is to donate and speak up that people here want a Canadian Discord alternative

I'm not paid to say this btw, I'm a volunteer admin and my fellow admin teammates don't know about this comment I've just written


Edit:
I forgot to mention (for other potential readers) is that we're a nonprofit btw🤗

Been contributing monthly since I joimed in 2023. It's approaching my cell phone bill. Not complaining, just saying I got that part covered. 😄

Still, I can't demand extra free labour but in case it was already done.. or someone was about to do it.. 🤭

I'm working through self-hosting a public server and will post it here when I can get it through my dummy brain.

We currently aren't running any Matrix servers

There is a Matrix chat for sh.itjust.works, but that's a bit different: https://matrix.to/#/#sh.itjust.works:matrix.org
