Yeah that could be a safety mechanism for that kind of discord users who split a single thought into single messages. The user experience across platforms is different, for sure. Discord is more conducive to this type of communication.

I don’t see any reliable workarounds for this, except for just knowing where you write and how it works. Methods, like you suggested, would be pretty hard to implement and they are more like a workaround from people who don’t know how messages are displayed in Lemmy for example. Or simply don’t want to write long texts.

I’m totally ok with writing longreads, I like it 🙂

But I think it would make sense to add some sort of information about the Fediverse to the bridge registration page for example. So an uninformed user could learn first before actually starting to write. Thank you

If I understood correctly the bridge requires the Forum type channel on the discord side, so posts can be mapped 1 to 1 into the fediverse.

To sort the replies into a lemmy-style thread the timing could be a decent way to group them, but the resulting thread would look less like a tree and more like multiple, possibly quite long chains of comments. This would also assume that Discordians only ever answer to the last message in the chat, which isn’t actually the case. I think the only way to fix this would be to utilise some sort of natural language processing to figure out which message they’re replying to, though I’d be curious how easy/difficult it would be to get decent results out of that
