I'm building (with a fellow HNer) a publicly accessible Matrix server with forum-like features. Hoping to make it a decent foss alternative to discord and other closed-off community apps. [0]
- matrix spaces not hidden behind auth
- indexed by search engines
- chat channels
- subreddit like posts with nested replies, voting etc
- private invite-only spaces
Hoping to get voice/audio working soon, along with encrypted DMs. Experimenting with activitypub integration too.
