We now have a chat room for the smallest of talks! Just kidding. Infodumping is encouraged.
Rather than using Discord, we’ll be using Matrix, which is a FOSS equivalent. It’s pretty intuitive, so signing up shouldn’t be much of a hassle, but let me know if you have any difficulties.
Here’s a list of most Matrix clients: https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/
I don’t have an iPhone, so I don’t know what the iPhone equivalent for this is. If you find out, let me know and I will adjust this post and the sidebar.

Thank you! I’ve updated the post with the link.
I got an iphone and I use element client which generally works well but I somehow can’t open your link and I cant find the room on matrix.org. No idea how to proceed. Got any hints? :)
Hmm, I wonder if that’s happening to others. Either way, DM me on Matrix, and I can send you an invite 👍
@backonmytbs:matrix.orgEdit: never mind! I did make a typo. There was an extra t added in there. 🤦♂️
This is the correct username: @backonmybs:matrix.org
I‘m not sure if you made a typo in your username but I sent someone a message with your exact username (instead of the one you wrote). That correct? :)
I don’t think I made a typo. I just had someone in the Matrix chat try to DM me using the link in my profile, and it worked. If you want, you can try the same and see if there’s a problem or not.Edit: I definitely made a typo 🤦
Thank you! As I’m learning more about my own autism, I’m quite willing to share experiences.
Come on in and say hi!
Edit: you’re welcome!
For this service, is the same login as Lemmy used, or a totally new one? It’s confusing to me when these Fedithings interact and when they do not. Sorry if this is obvious! 😵💫
Hehe, “fedithings.” Hehe, I love it. I think I’ll adopt that term into my fedivocabulary, lol
It’s a whole new thing. You have to sign up like a new service.
what’s that?
its a chat room like Discord, but the service is free and open-source software
federated discord?
It definitely is federated 🙂 https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/federate.html
Not really federated, but more so that the software isn’t owned by a company.
You can chat on different servers, so I’d say it’s federated.
I joined the room but I don’t have permission to post
Contact me directly on Matrix so that we could troubleshoot it: @backonmybs:matrix.org
