How did you guys use reddit and discord? - eviltoast

I still use reddit for purposes ranging from getting solutions to pastimes. Same for discord. There are a few communities on it that I need to be connected, most notably dev related.

What suggestions would you guys make? Are there any bridges/frontend I could use to get more privacy?

    I haven’t used it personally, but there is a discord matrix bridge. You wouldn’t get some of the fancy features like voice, but it might be alright for text only.

    Unless you can convince the server mods to bridge directly, you’d probably want a puppet bridge.

      I’m on a few servers with bridges and one unfortunate thing is occasionally they’ll go neglected and disconnect then you’ll be stuck in an unmoderated community with other Matrix users

        I wouldn’t recommend a normal bridged room, just a puppet bridge. So it’d basically be the bridge using your own account and pretending to be a real client, not trying to bridge a matrix room with a discord channel.

        Puppet bridges are kind of like bitlbee if youre familiar with it, but for matrix
