Help with finding a Reddit alternative with group chats
Posted by Swimming_Guidance892@reddit | RedditAlternatives | View on Reddit | 18 comments
Me and a large amount of others have a group chat on Reddit but we are looking for any possible alternatives to Reddit chats, not all of us have discord and the people who don’t don’t have space for it, what’s any over alternatives?

You can use Discord over web (no installation)

Mine does it, but it's not a very obvious feature. https://goatmatrix.net
If you click on a user name you can then click 'Start A Chat'. The form to start a chat lets you add more than one user. I don't currently have it implemented to add people but I designed it in a way where I could add that feature.
Just bug me if at any point you need the add extra people feature implemented.
I did it that way to make it easier to restart a chat with the same people. Internally the chat id is a hash of the users in the chat.

I guess you need something without any install?
How about IRC? (before you laugh, v3 is actually a modern messaging protocol) Possibly through web clients.
I like Element but I haven't tried the web client in ages and I don't know how well it manages group chats.

You're talking about someone who doesn't know that "apps" are actually web services which can be accessible in the browser, and you're talking about IRC ?
Either you didn't pay attention or don't want to actually help but simply trying to sound smart. Know your audience.

Set up a server on Mastodon.

I didn't even know reddit had group chat.

https://heahy.com - go to home page My chats and there you can create a new private group. I actually plan to focus on that a lot in the future.
efrique@reddit
You can run it in browser.
mighty3mperor@reddit
Matrix

Can I ask how you form this group chat? Is it based off of certain subreddits? Is there something you think can be improved if I built something similar?

It’s just a bunch of goofy little idiots who roleplay as eeveelutions, there’s been a lot of drama recently and it’s lost its spark so we’re hoping to find a new app to do it on

Group chat on reddit sounds fun.
