Hello! I’m excited to share that I’ve built a service that bridges Discord forum channels with the Fediverse, particularly with Lemmy communities!
In short: with the bot, you can either subscribe a Discord forum channel to an existing Fediverse community, or create a new federated community and assign a forum channel to it. Posts and comments are then synchronized between Discord and the Fediverse via ActivityPub.
Please note that the project is at a very early stage.
You can try it on your own on a dedicated Discord server I created:
If you find it useful or interesting, or if you have any concerns about it, I am open to your feedback. Financial support for further development would also be very appreciated.
I have also created a dedicated community for this project, so you can write something there and the messages will be synchronized between Discord and the Fediverse:
!discord_fediverse_bridge@bridge.nachitima.com
To learn how the service works in more detail, you can read the README on the repository page:

And by the way, this post was created in Discord 🙂
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
