Huge +1 on this. Much more aligned to the philosophy of the Fediverse not to rely on a centralised service for announcements

100% Discord is for discourse, not announcements/updates.
God yes. I hate that so many services are moving towards Discord instead of things like message boards. Fuck Discord for troubleshooting/help desk stuff. Let me search google, find the related forum post marked β[SOLVED]β, and have my answer without needing any human interaction whatsoever. On Discord, you end up with Help Desk 1 workers spamming the same dozen β!updateβ and β!factoryresetβ bot commands for every single issue over and over again, when it could just be a single forum post for each known issue.

a supplement to our Discord server
I, for one, have been hoping for "replacement" instead of "supplement" (for Free Software reasons), but baby steps, I guess!
Pretty wild to complain to a team that runs a lemmy and mastodon instance about not doing enough for FOSS.
I swear, some of the users here are so whiny and insufferable. I don't envy the lemmy.world team at all.
Incredibly insufferable and entitled lol

It's weird to rely on proprietary when you can use Matrix spaces.

Wake me up when we have an (ActivityPub+Jitsi) Discord replacement.
ActivityPub really can't do what discord does.
Matrix, however...
Awesome! I don't have a Discord account (well, I had) so this will be very useful.
Discord is a weirdly polarizing social network, in my experience. People tend to either be on it constantly (like me and my friends), or they create an account and then almost never use it
Plus the whole thing [Discord], seems to be down lately in the Los Angeles area, happened out of the blue.
Wouldn't be surprised if it was a Cloudflare issue
You actually could be right and is what I thought, since itβs consistently down for me.
Is there any way to follow the updates without being logged into Mastodon? I don't know if it's mostly my user error that I can't follow. I do know that we can't really communicate towards them, but is following not an option as well?
I believe there is a RSS option. Try https://mastodon.world/@lemmyworld.rss
I know RSS has been around basically forever, but Iβve never bothered to learn how to use them.
What do I do with this rss link you provided? Is there n app or something to add this to that pushes alerts/notifications when thereβs a new post or something?
@timespace @jelloeater85 thereβs plenty of good RSS readers, both desktop and web apps, and you can plug it into them.
You should be able to follow it at @LemmyWorld, but I'm not sure how the interaction between Lemmy and Mastodon works for following users. They haven't posted anything yet of course, so for now it'll look empty.
If you want to follow the account without being logged in to the fediverse at all, a good option is the RSS feed. :)
Yup! That works too πͺππͺ

I think Kbin gets Mastadon content.
It does!
This might be the user?
I'm not saying it's not my fault but,
-
It's not showing up in a search and it's got all kinds of weird things happening when I put that in the address bar. I get past the "it's trying to trick you" phase and then it says it can't show me anything.
-
If I put it in search and try to follow, it says I must be logged into Mastodon to do that.
You can theoretically follow them anywhere on the Fediverse.
What's your aversion to Mastodon?
Probably just didn't want to have to make yet another account
When it comes to for-profit companies, I wholeheartedly agree, as there is very little chance 100% of my activity on that site won't be sold to data-brokers. When it comes to most Fediverse stuff, I am not so worried. Use an email alias and a pseudonym.

A much better option than putting it behind discord wall.
I have tried making an account on mastodon many times but I get a constant error saying wrong time zone error even though there's no option for me to enter a time zone. Any one know if that's an operating system or phone issue? I'm using a pixel 5.
What instance are you trying to sign up to? Have you tried making an account on desktop?

Followed!
You love to see it.
Great news, thanks!
An off subject question for the mods. Could we have subjects that can be subscribed to placed into broad categories? I would like to view "all" while never seeing either foreign language or sports. It would be much easier to block "sports" or "not english" for example.
If you set your language on account, it should bring back stuff set as your language and undefined.
Thank you. Thats a good start.
Hace you expressed your difficulties with matrix moderation tools so that they can add enhancements to their roadmap?

Awesome, sounds great! Don't plan on joining Mastodon but options are good.
