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
Hmm, that is a decent argument. I mean, I do trust proton and signal, because they are privacy focused. But I also have an exitplan for those platforms, in case they do turn evil. Open source is great, but these platforms prove that it is not the only acceptable solution.
Signal is open source, including all their client apps as well as their server. Proton's client apps are open source too (but not their server).
