I can set it up . This idea popped into my head after i joined some good foss telegram channels and i personnely think matrix is not there yet also telegram does supports third party apps there are some privacy concerns but i don't think it matters to our use case and it is all speculation but matrix instance hoster could be violating this too as most groups are not encrypted . I also do think telegram is just a better experience and more polished to use but i would advise you to download a third party app from fdroid instead of using the official client . So anyways lemmy know.

PS : I am in no way a telegram shill just thinks it is a good platform for this use case as mercurygram, fossify,telegram foss etc. hosts theirs there and it is really a good overall experience . Again not a SHILL.

EDIT : This was just an idea i had and if you disagree please comment so and i will not move forward ciao.

EDIT : This was a for the community idea but if most of the community doesn't want it i will ofcourse not go forward but do write your thoughts in the comments as i don't know what you think by seeing the upvotes or downvotes (as some people do it accidentally by swiping or because they did'nt like something specific in the post which can be changed of you comment) and if there is anything i can do to make the experience better .

EDIT : Its all about options i am not proposing to move the community from matrix but just starting another one.

I don't understand what you're asking.

You want to setup Lemmy on Telegram? But instead of forum messages that I can read and respond to when I have time, you want it to be instant chat type messages?

I'm confused. If they're are already channels on Telegram for things that Lemmy covers (you mention FOSS channels), then what are you proposing to cover? Why can't we just use Telegram for those things we want to chat about? What are you doing differently?

Lemmy / Reddit / forums are a a different experience to instant chat. If I want instant chat I can find it. Again, confused by what you are proposing.

No lemmy support not lemmy i was thinking about setting up a support channel

That makes a little more sense. Support would lend itself to chat speeds better I think. If you need help with an issue its usually urgent.

It's not something I would use but I can see the benefit.
