Anyone using Revolt as a Discord alternative? What has your experience with it been? Do the voice chats work reliably? What about screen sharing? Is it easy to use? What hardware do you host it on? What about moving people over from Discord to Revolt?

I’m considering buying some.more solid self hosting hardware at some point and considering hosting a Revolt server for friends and a community that we’re moderating.

Other software recomendations are also welcome, but keep in mind that voice chats and screen sharing are features that we very often use, so something that’s primarily text-based like matrix won’t work.

I’d also like to hear your thoughts on converting people to non-mainstream software. I’d expect it to not work so smoothly, since discord is such a go-to platform for so many people and most of them follow multiple communities on there. The convenience aspect is a big thing.

Please share whatever thoughts you have on this topic.

    No worries if the answer here is “please go Google it”, but I’m curious as to what the end user has to edit?

    Do they have to edit your domain into a connections file or some such, or is it more involved? I’d expect a chocolatey package or some form of installer could improve that hugely…

      Pretty much. I don’t remember the exact details, but that’s close enough for the cat.
