You wan't to move from #Discord to #Movim and #XMPP, but you really miss one or two core feature?
-
@movim spaces are the most important (and now standard in XMPP!), second are the audio channels (with the possibility to see who's inside without joining)
Thank you for your work
️@movim and do you support openid? For structures with already with a user base (for example a discourse forum) trying to migrate instant messaging out of discord
-
@movim Spaces would be great, especially with an in depth ACL like Discord has for setting permissions along with roles. I don't know if it's currently possible with XMPP but that is my current dream feature(s).

@movim indeed. so many times it has wanted to stream a game to someone and had to resort to Twitch or self-hosting OvenMediaEngine/OvenPlayer or whatever
For our Korean language study group on Discord we really need this missing feature!
@whoosh @EllenInEdmonton @jcurries shall we test other platforms?
-
@movim I miss people.

@movim one nice thing om Discord is the ability to have multiple people share screens on a call, and participants can choose which one to watch at any time. This makes pair programming sessions or similar collaboration where you want to simulate hanging out together and working on the same thing a lot smoother. I haven't actually checked lately if Jitsi ocan do this though, so would be interested to know.

@movim I've seen many Discord users saying they need server emojis (I don't know if that's already implemented or not).

@bkhl This is already possible but it is not possible to "choose" one to watch in prority for now.

@movim you mean multiple people can screen share but it will show up the same as multiple people being on web cam?

FYI, if you happen to be on Linux and using PipeWire, you can work around this limitation in any VoIP software that does not yet support sharing desktop audio!
There's a piece of software called qpwgraph (Qt PipeWire Graph) that let's you re-wire the input and output between applications. With this you can wire the audio from your game to movim's input so it will be mixed with your mic's input!
(I'll let you figure out the other fun shenanigans you can pull with this)

@bkhl https://mov.im/community/pubsub.movim.eu/Movim/here-comes-movim-0-31-codename-kameny-yQUilX
"Until now, Movim was sending and receiving only two tracks, one audio and one video when initiating a call to the other participants. With this important improvement Movim is now able to handle several video tracks at the same time from a unique participant."
It will be improved in the upcoming days. I actually have https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0507.html to implement regarding that topic, it allow to tag the media streams

@Naughtylus @0x7700e6 Its a nice way to make it working.
But lets add desktop audio sharing in Movim for the non-hackers as well

First of all, you need a lot of RAM.
At least 256 KB. -

@Naughtylus @movim oh this is awesome. gonna try doing this soon

@movim ah, i didn't realize i was talking to someone who is actually making software lol
well yeah, a team of... one, would limit scope quite a bit, and i can only understand why
though that said a lot of chat alternatives have teams of hundreds, who blatantly ignore these things in favor of... well, i don't even know what they do in their spare time other than break things lmfao
that said i'll vote for spaces, since that's the most essential component that nobody else gets right@EeveeEuphoria@social.translunar.academy @movim@piaille.fr yeah I agree with spaces being the most critical one. that's the main defining feature that makes discord particularly different from other chat apps. it scales really well to large communities.
if I didn't want that and just wanted small group chats with friends. I would use Signal. it does most of the other stuff pretty okay. (plus it's secure and has good E2EE. but that's not a requirement for a discord alternative)
but without the other stuff (video calls in audio rooms), you're still not really a viable discord alternative. again, yeah, all three are really quite important actually. seriously. don't underestimate them if you want to be a viable discord alternative. I have no good suggestion on how to achieve it all with a team of one. i know it's daunting. -
@movim@piaille.fr custom emoji reactions. I would switch my discord DMs to any good open source messenger that has custom emoji reactions (if the person I'm talking to also uses it ofc)
