Fluxer apparently has that on their roadmap. https://blog.fluxer.app/roadmap-2026/

As part of #3, I'd also like to add the ability to publish forums to the open web. That way, people can discover, archive, and access discussions without logging in.

Sounds great. I hope it has video chat and screenshare or will implement it soon.

[–] other_cat@piefed.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

They do have those things from what I can tell.

I saw earlier that Zulip already has that option, but I still would much prefer a regular old forum.

As someone who has spent the last 2+ years testing revolt/stoat, matrix with element, and teamspeak, desperately searching for any viable discord alternative, I'm very interested in this. Where did you come across it? I tried to create an account but stuck pulsing on a loading screen.

@craigers @other_cat can I ask what was the issue with using matrix as a discord replacement? I would like to propose it to some friends, so it would be good to know if there are some fatal flaws

[–] craigers@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My issues with matrix were mostly around the voice services.

@craigers oh ok! So far everything seemed to work fine with them. I hope they'll keep being stable in my experience. Thanks for sharing!

One of my friends' husbands brought it up, so good old word of mouth.

I did notice I wasn't able to get logged in last night, though the night before I was able to make an account without issue. I wonder if they got a hug of death like Stoat did.

Haha I opened a github issue on that and the main Dev confirmed they were getting the HoD.
