Hi friends,

I'm new to Lemmy but I think I like where it is heading in general. I would like to ask, do you have any specific apps used for ?

As a community that seems more focused on decentralized platforms, I thought this could spike up an interesting discussion

I have been using mainly Viber and FB messenger. I did try to convince friends and family to move over to simpleXchat, as it seems the most privacy focused alternative I have found, but basically failed.

I would love to hear your input!

I'm only Discord at this point. Over time I've just wanted to stay within a select few platforms for mental health and security. I would move to Matrix but most people I know are on Discord. But I still have an account there incase anyone wants to contact me.

Setup Matrix and add a bridge for Discord.

[–] Dazawassa@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

I'll look into that one.

You can bridge from Matrix to Discord.

[–] Dazawassa@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll look into it.

You can run the bridge yourself or Element One is a paid-for app that runs a number if bridges.
