I use mautrix. It creates a matrix space where all your discord stuff goes, and within that it will create spaces for each server you manually choose to bridge.
DMs also go into a DMs space. DMs are bridged automatically, but each server you want has to be added with a command.
Looking at those three, appservice is old, and out of your element does not do puppeting (meaning it bridges discord-matrix chat rooms, rather matrix-discord accounts), making mautrix the best option IMO.
If you are looking to make a discord server you run accessible on matrix, out of your element may be better.
For using your own discord account through matrix, mautrix is the obvious choice.
@MentalEdge @rufus mautrix is the only choice.
But works really well 90%ish of the time.
(dont leave the rooms!)
Thanks. Why do you say appservice is old? Because of the used technology? Or because their last commit is from 9 months ago?
I don't really need double puppeting. I'm just interested in funnelling out data from discord and it's just me and my account. I should clarify that in my post...
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm gonna take a closer look at the features of both and probably choose mautrix, since I already run their WhatsApp bridge. Maybe someone else chimes in and can contribute their experience with the out-of-your-element bridge.
Yes. Nine months is long enough for stuff to potentially be broken due to changes in matrix or discord.
Even if you don't care about double puppeting, I was referring to the fact that out of your element doesn't do puppeting. At all.
As in no DMs or discord account log in. All it does is mirror chat rooms onto matrix, allowing matrix users to join them. It does not link to your existing discord account in any way.
Guess it's mautrix then and I have my answer. Thanks!
