Discord General chat has now been bridged to a Matrix room!
Discord has been one of the primary locations of most of the daily Pokitto communications and general community discussion. But there are those that for whatever reasons may not want to use Discors but use other alternative chat platforms. Enter Matrix, one of the many alternative services.
The integration looks nearly native! Almost no disruption to the chat, yet users from both sides may interact as if in the same rooms on their preferred platforms. There are small feature disparities (emoji reactions) but the majority of features look great!
For anyone wanting to check out the Matrix side you can try these links:
This is my first time interacting personally with a bridged room, so let me know if there are any hiccups
Known quirks:
- When a user on Discord posts for the first time (since the bridge started) the first message may get lost. My theory (and what Iβve seen in issues on github) is that the message is sent prior to the completion of bridge setup for that user.
- Emoji reactions are not shared across the bridge.
- If a user replies on Discord, the original message is lost, and only the reply is sent over to Matrix. Matrix β Discord replies seem to work.
