We set up a bridge between the Lemmy.world General Matrix room and the Public-1 channel on the Lemmy World discord server yesterday. It's not perfect as emoji reactions aren't visible and some minor things like how it handles edited messages but other than that it seems to be working well.
Now people on both chat clients can interact with eachother!
this might be a good place for me to reach out into the void
i'm interested in migrating two of my servers over to a matrix server, but i also want to back-copy all the old messages to the matrix client.
does a matrix bridge do all this copying? i.e, if i was to setup a discord-matrix bridge, allow messages to sync, and then disconnect the bridge, does the matrix server then have a copy of all the old messages? it doesn't have to match to the old users or anything, i'm just interested in having the content migrate over.
this is currently the biggest hurdle for me, because one of my servers is a private family discord, and i really don't want to have to explain to my mum that "all the content of the last 4 years is gone" ๐
I don't think that's possible. At least the bridge software we used you can only link one matrix room to one discord channel. And the chat history from discord is not transferred either.
We're currently using https://t2bot.io/
ahh that's unfortunate. thanks anyway!
