Probably silly but: is there a way to connect to Discord from outside of it? (lemmy.world)

I would love to use a different app but I am stuck with Discord because I have to use it for work. I was wondering if there was a way to connect normally with Discord content from an open source alternative…? I know there’s Revolt and Matrix which look a lot like it but I haven’t used either because I don’t need another Discord if I cannot use it for the same purpose I’m doing now (I have to use preexisting Discord servers and connect with coworkers who only use Discord and won’t move).

If you're willing to host your own matrix server, a Discord bridge could be an option

Can you use DM's with a bridge? From what I understand bridges use bots to send messages in Discord right? Thats the reason I havent looked into setting one up yet

The mautrix-discord bridge supports group chats and DMs
