Does anyone know of a Discord alternative?
My vote is for Matrix
Matrix is a laggy dumpsterfire. Messages take longer to send in Matrix than they do in Lemmy, and Lemmy isn't even supposed to be a real-time chat app.
Did you blindly sign up for matrix.org?
The first time yeah, but I tried it again on another instance and it was better (at least it didn't fail to load half the time), but still super slow. The 2nd time is what I was talking about.
What is the best instance with the largest user base?
Edit: and ...yes I did
I don't know. Why do you want a large user base?
Guessing at one reason:
It feels good to know that you’re not signing up for someone’s instance that they’re just trying out admining for the first time and maybe if they’re too busy to do the proper updates next weekend they’ll just close shop.
(And by shop I mean fantastic free volunteering effort of course!)
Matrix.im maybe? I wouldn't know.
Yeah, pick literally any other instance. I went with Mozilla's, but there are plenty of alternatives. Or host your own!
