Anyone tried a Matrix <-> Discord bridge? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Does it work well? Which one to choose? The official Matrix site shows 3 that seem maintained:

Does anyone have some insight? I don't want to try all of them.

Edit: I don't need anything super fancy like double puppeting. I just want the data from the several Discord communities I joined available through my Matrix server. And it's just me using it. But it should bridge the rooms properly and include the popular media formats, reactions etc.

I use mautrix. It creates a matrix space where all your discord stuff goes, and within that it will create spaces for each server you manually choose to bridge.

DMs also go into a DMs space. DMs are bridged automatically, but each server you want has to be added with a command.

Looking at those three, appservice is old, and out of your element does not do puppeting (meaning it bridges discord-matrix chat rooms, rather matrix-discord accounts), making mautrix the best option IMO.

If you are looking to make a discord server you run accessible on matrix, out of your element may be better.

For using your own discord account through matrix, mautrix is the obvious choice.

@MentalEdge @rufus mautrix is the only choice.
But works really well 90%ish of the time.
(dont leave the rooms!)
