Since Lemmy.ca is really gaining new users, we could try again to make a Lemmy.ca instance chat room on discord + element + telegram and bridge them all together. Thoughts? (lemmy.ca)

AFAIK https://matrix.to/#/#lo_canada:mozilla.org is the biggest Canada themed matrix chat room. It's not partnered with Lemmy.ca or anyone and I believe they were asked before and didn't want to partner up.

They specifically don't want to do a discord or telegram bridge iirc.

So we could try to make a Lemmy.ca matrix chat room and bridge it to telegram and discord.

I can take care of the bridging, but it's very easy. Ex discord instructions

I only really use element/Matrix and it's better if everyone only uses those, but i respect that other ppl use discord and telegram and don't want to switch.

This discord server is very cooperative https://discord.gg/gEWcR7w4TW so that would be where the discord channel would be located. You could even join it now to check it out since it's fully operational.

There is no operational matrix or telegram atm.

If you want to do a matrix or telegram, tot set it up now and put the link in the comments.

I like this idea as well. I could put it on my matrix server, or wherever else, doesn't really matter to me. Can also put it in the sidebar of the instance as well.

In some way shape or form, or at some later point, we should have this pinned so new users can see and we can use that to gauge interest. Or just reposting this later
