Does Anyone Host a Discord Alternative? Like a Matrix/Synapse Server? (lemmy.world)

As r/selfhosted seems to have shutdown due to the reddit api changes (rip), I wanted to see if anyone has worked with these services before?

How do they compare to Discord and how hard is it to maintain, as the setup looks pretty in depth for matrix and synapse. How did you convince your user base to use it over Discord.

I've hosted TS3 for about 8 years and are looking for alternatives, as we have to use Discord for screen sharing.

Thanks!

According to TS devs the screen sharing is comming Soon™ for TS5 but I can't promise it because it was originally planned for last year.

If you want a source I can search for it in german ts beta chat.

They released an update yesterday for TS3, allowing connection to TS5 servers I think, and breaking the Soundboard lol. TS5 is in closed-beta, right? I would think release would be within a year, but I'm not sure. Also, last I checked, I was reading mixed results on the platform, but I haven't been able to use it myself.

I like it, TS5 has permanent chats and hopefuly soon screensharing. Then I never need to go back to discord. I think they are still invite only but I got mine fast. But I don't think there is a ts5 server and ts5 client uses the ts3 server.

Edit: There is a ts5 server on github and ts3 can connect and speak/write but not use other features

I am running one as well, also have some bridges between protocols, Discord bridge being among them.

To maintain it is not very hard, appart one thing - database is blowing up constantly and it is a battle to keep it contained.
