Please note this is just a beta and there are going to be bugs, but it works and it works nicely. Have fun.

    Oh and please note that bugs should be reported in #sync-support-and-bugs in the discord: https://discord.gg/qYWxqva or the github.

    LJ has been working very hard - this is beta 24 from no betas a week ago.

    And again, it is a beta - some features like Ad-free IAP and submissions are not there, but they will be in there eventually.

        A lemmy community for bugs woud be very hard to keep track of. Discord allows segmented, real time conversations which is simply better.

              I agree that not everything has to be decentralized, but why not replace Discord with Matrix given hew mature and nice Matrix is? IMO, this is one of those things that should be decentralized.

              Edit: for everyone asking why, read https://cadence.moe/blog/2020-06-06-why-you-shouldnt-trust-discord. The main point I care about is that as a free-to-use app with no ads, Discord is not profitable despite the Nitro subscribers. The operating cost to keep up with millions of messages a day is not cheap. They will, at some point, sell our data.

                We’ve been using Discord for 3 or 4 years now, he has a community built there

                  How about we bridge the channels across to rooms on Matrix? That could work.

              Yeah it should. Also Discord is a plague. Though tbh Element is still years behind Discord which is unfortunate.

            Agreed. If we want to move away from Reddit, why not move away from Discord too?

              Why move away from discord lol? It’s not like people just moved from reddit for fun. Discord doesn’t have the same issues people left reddit for.

                Discord doesn’t have the same issues people left reddit for.

                Yes, yes it does. Both Reddit and Discord don’t allow 3rd party clients. It’s just that Discord never allowed any in the beginning. The arguments of a centralized content silo applies to Discord too.

                It’s not like people just moved from reddit for fun.

                Neither are people moving away from Discord for fun.

                By the way, read the edit on my parent comment.

                  Yes. It also never needed third party apps because it works well, has good accessibility features, etc… while reddit doesn’t. I honestly don’t think that third party apps are a necessity most of the time. Reddit is just a relatively unique platform where they had a thriving third party scene and took them away without any intention to add the features that the official app lacked.

      Thanks for the info, I was looking for where I could buy Pro (ad-free) and I couldn’t find it.

        Somewhere else in this post, it’s mentioned that an ad-free iap is coming later. Only option at the moment is ultra.

          According to ljdawson, “later” is apparently pretty damn soon. It’s already in the latest update!

      Seeing all the usernames hosted at different servers feels refreshing. As the internet should be, distributed.
