Voice Chat Alternative from Discord (lemmy.world)

I'm looking to avoid using Discord for voice calls... I've always had gripes with it over the years but I'm fed up lol.

I need a stable voice call app that is cross platform (needs to work on Windows/Android/iOS). That's it. No screen sharing necessary.

I do my best to use Signal for texts, but my mutuals only care for so much...

My friend lives in the UK while I'm based in Austral-Asia region, and I'm honestly not tech savvy enough for P2P or self hosting...

I also unfortunately don't have the best WiFi (MediaTek on a Lenovo Laptop in the great 2026...)

There's nothing to it, you literally just download an app, text your friend the server name and it connects. And if you have enough bandwidth for Discord or Lemmy, this will work too.

The big caveat is if your internet is bad enough to drop packets or randomly drop out a ton, it's going to cut your audio off. Discord would work really poorly too, but it would more aggressively auto-reconnect and buffer.
