The Jerboa app has a matrix room: https://matrix.to/#/#jerboa-dev:matrix.org
So does lemmy itself: https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy:matrix.org
Matrix is to discord, like what lemmy is to reddit.

Cool, just set mine up. The fediverse is a pretty big place. Here's a couple of pages that helped me figure it out.
A matrix chat would make a while lot more sense than Discord, a centralized, closed source, for profit operation.
Unsurprisingly, there is already one: https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy-space:matrix.org
Discord is really bad for technical discussions because information gets lost and isn't available outside of Discord. An open IRC server would be better suited for this.
Please just use a matrix room.
but why? It's like jumping from the frying pan into the flames. Discord is corporate owned, has terrible privacy policies and can't be searched. The content is a nightmare to find and it's just a BAD idea all up. If people thought reddit was bad, just wait for the discord of the discordocolipse when it comes.
I donβt think there is.
There is nothing stopping you from creating a developer discord.
Use matrix. Discord is just as bad as Reddit.
I'd love to know, too. Would also make sharing new communities easier, because it's not without its problems directly on Lemmy right now.
Exactly, was thinking the same thing. Reaching into the pool of users from other social medias / communities is a key to growth. So as long as we're not just promoting Lemmy like a bot and rather spreading the word that it's here.
As of right now, there's not a whole lot of talk about Lemmy elsewhere besides Reddit. Would really help SEO even for Lemmy itself branching into larger communities.
