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 πŸ™‚

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

Yeah that could be a safety mechanism for that kind of discord users who split a single thought into single messages. The user experience across platforms is different, for sure. Discord is more conducive to this type of communication.

I don't see any reliable workarounds for this, except for just knowing where you write and how it works. Methods, like you suggested, would be pretty hard to implement and they are more like a workaround from people who don't know how messages are displayed in Lemmy for example. Or simply don't want to write long texts.

I'm totally ok with writing longreads, I like it πŸ™‚

But I think it would make sense to add some sort of information about the Fediverse to the bridge registration page for example. So an uninformed user could learn first before actually starting to write. Thank you

Well, technically, it is possible to flood fedi instances with a huge amount of noisy content but it is always up to an instance admins whether to keep such data and continue federating with such instances. So as long as the bridge instance is not producing tons of unrelated content, it is ok for everyone, I believe. In the end, situations could be different.

Also, motivating people to use this bridge is not a very easy task, by the way πŸ™‚

The same works with other genuine federated platforms,doesn’t it? The amount of content in the fediverse would inevitably gradually increase over time as people become more aware of it

I haven’t considered any of it, because I just wanted to build it to use it on my own πŸ™‚ If someone in the world also finds it useful, then implementing some optimizations would not be a huge deal I believe. At least for personal use it is a working tool already

Exactly! Replies are also supported πŸ™‚

 

Hello! I’m excited to share that I’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 πŸ™‚
