Did you know you can bridge matrix to discord? So your discord users can talk to your matrix users?
Yeah I'm aware but we haven't given it a try yet. Does it work well and is it for room/channel or server/space?
it's for channel - room communication. It works well, unless you have a spam problem on matrix because then they bypass the anti-spam protections of discord. but if you don't have a spam problem, it's great
https://t2bot.io/discord/ is a free discord bridge you can use or host your own since the bridge is fully open source
I tried this one but it doesn't do emoji reactions and such. Is that because of the bridge software or is it technically not possible?
I'm not 100% sure, I would ask in the support room for the bridge which should be on that page
I think the problem was that they use a bot at the discord side, which can only react a specific emoji once.
That is so cool, I'm gonna have to try Matrix
Follow these steps to get a lemmy.world matrix account: https://lemmy.world/comment/3443207
Yes but no. Yes, technically possible. No, I don’t think it’s what you’re looking for - you’d want to create your own bot for your own account (each user needs its own bot), and it’s technically against Discord TOS to use, so use at your own risk.
No each user doesn't need their own bot you just add one bot on the matrix side and one in the discord side
Can you share what type of bot you’re using? The last time I tried this, I had to add a personal app key for the bot, which was linked to my account. It created a bunch of discordbot profiles, one for each user in my contacts, and added them to the server. I’m not positive but I think that anyone who messages these profiles will be messaging my contacts, though I think they didn’t appear in the directory by default. Either way, if anyone wanted to setup a new user, they would need to go through the same process I did, which includes having admin access to the server.
Where did I go wrong?
I'm afk but Honestly if you Google matrix discord bridge you should find it. It really doesn't need all that. I'm running it right now
There’s a few options, which is why I’m thinking maybe I did the wrong one. Do either of these ring a bell?
IIRC I used mautrix and used puppetting. I assume you’re also using puppetting?
Iirc it's the first one
