Anyone using Revolt as a Discord alternative? What has your experience with it been? Do the voice chats work reliably? What about screen sharing? Is it easy to use? What hardware do you host it on? What about moving people over from Discord to Revolt?
I’m considering buying some.more solid self hosting hardware at some point and considering hosting a Revolt server for friends and a community that we’re moderating.
Other software recomendations are also welcome, but keep in mind that voice chats and screen sharing are features that we very often use, so something that’s primarily text-based like matrix won’t work.
I’d also like to hear your thoughts on converting people to non-mainstream software. I’d expect it to not work so smoothly, since discord is such a go-to platform for so many people and most of them follow multiple communities on there. The convenience aspect is a big thing.
Please share whatever thoughts you have on this topic.
I am trying to self host stoatchat, formally revoltchat but it is a pain to setup in docker. Also self hosting it and trying to run the clients to connect is not intuitive for users.
I do have another chat running after only 2 hours besides the voicechat, I still need to work on that side. Maybe this weekend.

Downside is the Linux client is a little tricky for me to get running as they only supply an app image and getting it to run and save it’s config is not working right but that may just be my issue never running app images before.
