What's the advantages of Osmium? In general I don't think it's a good idea to move from one closed-source system (Discord) to another (Osmium) since they'll eventually enshittify it too.
Since you're already using one Fediverse platform (Lemmy), have you considered using Matrix?
The advantage of osmium is that they are completely privacy first, I like to think of them as the proton or tuta of discord like apps
They're based in the EU though, so we'll see how long that stays true.

Chat Control didn't pass, but we'll see what happens with Chat Control 2.0 given most member states are in favor of it.
Also, they don't currently support E2E encryption, so I'm not sure how focused on privacy they actually are. That should have been a blocker for launch if so.
E2E is in the works. folf (the main dev) told me the reason E2E isnt out yet is becasue they want to make sure its not half baked
