Hi all, I’m looking for some Discord alternatives. All I really need is the ability to do voice calls and screen shares. It can be either via DM or channels, I only need to it be able to speak with a few friends that’d be open to moving over. I’ve tried Matrix/Element but there doesn’t seem to be a screen share function. There’s Teamspeak but I don’t think that’s FOSS nor does it support screen shares as well. Any other options? Basically just voice calls and screen shares is all I need, I couldn’t care about channels or servers or whatever other functionalities Discord has put into their app. Thanks!
I would recommend using Matrix. But if you really want the “Discord experience” than I would suggest Revolt.
I’ve never had revolt come close to working; it always felt really buggy.
It also seems abandoned looking at their GitHub, there’s been no activity in over 7 months.They’re still active but it’s slowed down a little. Their activity is spread out across a lot of different repos so some look inactive, sort repositories by last updated at the bottom of the page here to see the current activity https://github.com/revoltchat.
edit: iirc they’re also in the process of doing a major UI rewrite, not sure if certain parts of that are public yet or how far along they are on it.
Oh interesting, thanks
Where did you look at? The backend had a commit 2 days ago, the frontend rewrite 2 weeks ago. Looks active.
I was looking at https://github.com/revoltchat/revolt/commits/master though it’s been pointed out to me that’s an incomplete view.
Well yeah, that’s only a meta repository pointing to all the other repositories.
I don’t really understand Revolt, most people don’t want to self host an entire Discord (as in, a server full of servers), most people want to self host one server.
