Try Cinny or Sable (slightly buggier fork of Cinny with more features.) They're Matrix clients that look close enough to discord.

Or just use fluxer? If you want a discord clone why the fuck are you trying to make a totally different program behave like discord. That defeats the entire purpose of matrix.

Just go use an actual clone.

Moving from discord to fluxer, stoat, etc, is like moving from shitter to bluesky. All centralized platforms will eventually go to shit.

Not of they are self-hostable...? I don't know what the progress is for Fluxer self hosting, but if it comes through like they have 'promised' then I'm excited for it as the next place to go.

I looked into fluxer and it doesn't appear to be federated, meaning you would have to have an "official" fluxer account to interact with the majority of the communities.

Or Movim, which is an XMPP client
