    Lemmy would be a FAR better platform to run a video game community on than Discord.

    Lemmy does not have voice chat.

      This is an issue I see with Lemmy regarding Discord. Many people here seem to think of Discord as a messaging platform only. Which is weird because I don’t know anyone who uses it strictly for text. For example my friend group is probably 60% voice, 30% video/screen sharing & 10% text.

        I mean it depends on the community but definitely for gaming it’s used quite often as a cross-platform voice chat solution.

      If only discord had stuck to just voice chat. They are miles better in that arena than other options were at the time. I just hate how it also replaced forums. And issue trackers. And some people try to run wikis and image boorus and everything else under the sun as a discord server
