Super exciting. Time to start bridging Discord servers to Matrix Spaces and encouraging people to switch, one community at a time.

- crowbahr 5y agoI wish there was a good Discord:Matrix bridge but I've never been able to get anything useful working nor does it seem like Discord will ever allow something like that on their platform.
- encryptluks2 5y agoExcept many servers are unreliable and overloaded. Plus, Discord audio just works and you don't have to worry about your chats randomly disappearing.
- podiki 5y agoDiscord/Matrix bridging works well for me! I wrote up a guide here: https://boilingsteam.com/how-to-bridge-discord-in-matrix/ https://boilingsteam.com/how-to-bridge-discord-in-matrix/
- kovek 5y agoSetting up a matrix server on an ec2 took a few evenings (lots of reading docs). Then, setting up discord was supposed to be more configuration… Element has hosted instances for 10$/month and discord bridges for 20$/month? Does anyone else run hosted matrix instances with bridges? I might pay 10$/month for that. Or, are there AMI instances for that? I couldn’t find any.
- gpanders 5y agoI found the Ansible playbook [1] on GitHub extremely easy to use. As long as you know how to configure DNS records and firewalls, the rest is taken care of. This is what I use today to manage my Synapse server. Also Oracle Cloud offers free ARM instances with 4 CPU cores and 24 GB of RAM, more than enough to run a very speedy Synapse server.

- kovek 5y agoIt's also important to read the docs for that ansible playbook, know what certbot does, setup the nginx proxy accordingly or remove the nginx proxy. Maybe I should have done this on a mint machine.
