Spacebar is a free, opensource selfhostable discord-compatible chat, voice and video platform.
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.
Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

Damn.
Yeah I’d love to move my gang off discord but getting them to go back to team speak or vent is not happening
Mumble is another strong, open source, self-hosted option.
If only it didn’t looked like a 20 year old software.
Some of the best stuff in the world looks like it’s 20 years past a prime that isn’t, because they’re truly good eternal.
Maybe it’s just me but I think the Mumble UI is way better than the Discord UI
I don’t know about the UX, but if you want peoples to use your app, it need to look nice.
I find the login page of discord intelorable, it has ugly EULA on it that I will never sign
Discord is also quite the resource hog. Trying to run the web version on weaker phones is a slog.
Yay mumble!
And I agree: it’s better. I think it’s faster and that, IMHO, is where the power is. It can look boring like a hammer as long as it’s intuitive … like a hammer.
oh no!! good thing that doesn’t impact anything
maybe try: https://github.com/Fancy-Mumble/FancyMumbleV2
It’s voice chat, you choose a server and then minimize to tray, you never have to look at it…
Especially on mobile.
Same, if only teamspeak supported screen sharing / streaming, then it would be fine.
I thought discord streaming was so dumb until I was trying to reach my friend something in a game. Now we use it a couple times per month, it’s great. I hate that I like Discord lol
My group is on Teamspeak. They are supposedly adding it this year, but it’s been radio silence for months.
Well the minute they do and it works for sharing videos as well so we can watch YouTube as a group then we will drop discord super quick. I won’t want to host it at mine but I’ll happily pay for a vps for it.
Just use sunshine moonlight for screenshare, it beats literally everything else, it’s not even close, you can play games through it, it’s just that good.
Discuss without voice, might aswell use IRC
Just use mumble for voice
Mumble is so underrated. It does one job and but does it very well.
