We just switched my podcast community from Discord to Matrix and I’ve spent the last two weeks onboarding people.
I wrote these as a veteran Discord user just delving into Matrix and tried my best to frame things in a very Discord-centric way to help people understand the concepts in Matrix. It seemed to help some people.
Anyway, posting here in case they’re of use to anyone else.

I almost never see it used in the public federation; it’s mostly a corporate feature. Also the default integration manager is proprietary.

https://matrix.org/bridges. You can host yourself, otherwise there’s Beeper, and certain public hosted bridges also exist; see also https://joinmatrix.org/guide/features/#all-about-bridges.
