Hello! I’m excited to share that I’ve built a service that bridges Discord forum channels with the Fediverse, particularly with Lemmy communities!

In short: with the bot, you can either subscribe a Discord forum channel to an existing Fediverse community, or create a new federated community and assign a forum channel to it. Posts and comments are then synchronized between Discord and the Fediverse via ActivityPub.

Please note that the project is at a very early stage.

You can try it on your own on a dedicated Discord server I created:

https://discord.gg/8WXE9bZhbP

If you find it useful or interesting, or if you have any concerns about it, I am open to your feedback. Financial support for further development would also be very appreciated.

I have also created a dedicated community for this project, so you can write something there and the messages will be synchronized between Discord and the Fediverse:

[!discord_fediverse_bridge@bridge.nachitima.com](/c/discord_fediverse_bridge@bridge.nachitima.com)

To learn how the service works in more detail, you can read the README on the repository page:

And by the way, this post was created in Discord 🙂

The latter. Any instance that has at least one user following the bridge will have to process and store every message coming from the bridge discord room.

The same works with other genuine federated platforms,doesn’t it? The amount of content in the fediverse would inevitably gradually increase over time as people become more aware of it

Well, yes, but a bridge to Discord could be bringing traffic from order of magnitude more people than we currently have, and we do not have the infrastructure for it yet.

Well, technically, it is possible to flood fedi instances with a huge amount of noisy content but it is always up to an instance admins whether to keep such data and continue federating with such instances. So as long as the bridge instance is not producing tons of unrelated content, it is ok for everyone, I believe. In the end, situations could be different.
