Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Depends on how it's implemented. Anyone using a "media proxy" will see their discord bridged media probably fail to load (outside of possible caches) after a day. Anyone who has their bridge configured to reupload discord media to their homeserver should see no change.

What is this bridge you speak of? I'm intrigued. Does matrix have a functionality that lets you run a mirror of a discord channel?

[–] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, but you have to selfhost your own instance. Big servers don't have that, and the ones that have probably require payment.

You don't.

Here is a free bridge bot that will do it for you

[–] bitwolf@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Yes exactly. The bridge logs into the discord server as a user. Then it mirrors all chats from your user in matrix to the discord.

Oh matrix, every user on the connected server gets a user whose name is their snowflake. Those virtual users post into the matrix server whatever their respective discord users posts.
