I've seen mentioned these:

Stoat - pretty much same UI, based in UK, not sure where they get $$
Fluxer - looks virtually like 1:1 Discord clone, based in Sweden, has paid tier pretty much like Nitro on Discord on official server
Nerimity - a little different UI, but still very Discord-y, based in UK, sourced from donations
Movim - this one is interesting, but it's not really Discord style app; it looks more like cross breed between IM and social network (FB/X), origin in France
Strafe - looks like Discord, supposedly have e2ee
Spacebar - reverse engineered Discord, IDK about maturity of this one
Adapt - another wanna be

Saw this a few days ago.

Stoat still doesn't have screenshare. It's also a bloody stupid name - I have no idea who thought that re-brand was a good idea.

Fluxer seems to support it though.

BNoth can be self-hosted, which is a nice bonus.

Do people really use screen share that much? (Sadly) I use discord to reach a lot of my friends for multiple years and we actually used screen share maybe twice? Three times?

[–] fubbernuckin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 hours ago

I have used it multiple times every day this week.

Why is "one-to-one clone of Discord" the goal for everyone? Why not set your sights on a making a good UX instead?

[–] kurcatovium@piefed.social 2 points 5 hours ago

Well, Discord's UI is certainly not the holy grail, but it's quite functional and people are used to it. So it's pretty much logical you copy the concept to some extent when you want to appeal to these people?

ngl, discord kinda had the best UX before the enshittification began

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 3 points 11 hours ago

I don't think it's necessarily the goal — Discord is just a helpful yardstick to compare things to as a baseline (and some people are looking for something that replaces Discord as closely as possible). Having to switch services is a pain, and whilst it's not optimal in the long term to just try to replace a thing with a clone, I can see why people don't have the executive function energy to think too hard about this.

So you're saying there are options.

Doesn't Stoat charge far out the ass?

[–] kurcatovium@piefed.social 2 points 5 hours ago

There are actually many, many options. It's hard to guess which one will get the momentum and lift off though. You probably don't want to convince all your friends to switch to another platform just to see it die in half a year...
