Delightful Dude

I understand! I know there is a lot of hype about Discord, especially young people love it. Despite all the features, isn’t Discord just a chat software? Reading your answer, I think you are looking for a forum software (not chat) 😄 Have you looked at Discourse? It is open source, offers a modern, hierarchical structure with categories and subcategories, extensive permission systems and role management. It is specifically designed for larger communities and allows easy management of moderators and admins.

Matrix is horrible for large communities

Interesting, what issues did you have? How large are those communities?

The best image gallery software is Nextcloud Memories.

Great! Finamp is my daily driver!

Well done! Great font! Is this scientifica?

Thank you guys! 😃👍

Great! I think I have a Asus Transformer Pad lying around, I might give it a shot!

Desktop/Laptop: Ncmpcpp + mopidy-mpd + jellyfin-plugin

Mobile: Finamp

Homeserver: Jellyfin

With this setup I’m able to manage and play my playlists on every device.

I highly recommend:

• Web: Nextcloud + Nextcloud Notes App + Qownnotes Sync App
• Desktop: Qownnotes and/or vim (or any texteditor of choice)
• Mobile: Nextcloud Notes

Main advantage of this software stack over other solutions like joplin is the handling of the notes. Everthing is stored in a simple folder structure in plain markdown text files (*.md). This means if anything breaks, you are always able to read and edit with any text editor on any system! I switched away from joplin because it stores the notes in a database and notes file names are a cryptic string, so if you are not able to load joplin it’s very hard to find anything.

As an Arch Linux user on every thinkpad I own: what the heck is a chromebook?

@dessalines as always: well done, thank you!

1. Debian is always a great choice 👍. Sometimes the packages are dated, but this OS is solid and easy. Go for it!
2. I use arch btw. Because of its rolling distribution model, bleeding edge packages and the AUR.

Me too, works great!

Finding new communities with the Lemmyverse.net explorer is easy, I highly recommend it!
