You are correct. It is just the closest thing I know of that can be self hosted. Jitsi is much more complicated. Definitely open to new ideas. FWIW the cpu load and voice quality are a bit better on Mumble, but the UI/UX is inferior for most people that are used to Discord and there is no screen sharing. Jitsi can do screen sharing but it is a much more involved setup that I don't foresee many people doing.
- BoysenberryPi 6y agoElement is probably the closest thing to Discord for people who want to self-host. https://element.io/ https://element.io/
- LinuxBender 6y agoI am probably looking in the wrong place. The only self hosted option I see is to buy the Platinum plan. [1] Is there an unrestricted community edition on github? [1] - https://element.io/pricing https://element.io/pricing

- LinuxBender 6y agoThat lists a web UI. Is Element just a front-end to Matrix much like TheLounge [1] is a web front-end to IRC? If so, then you would first have to set up a self hosted Matrix server. Not a big deal really but getting people to set these up and plumb them together is probably just enough friction to prevent migration.
