Discord isn’t exactly known for generous file-sharing limits, still, the messaging app offered a 25MB limit to free users. The company has now updated its support page to reflect the upload limit for free users has been lowered to 10MB.

Does anyone know of a Discord alternative?

Matrix is the closest replacement, and XMPP can replicate some functionality too.

My vote is for Matrix

Matrix is a laggy dumpsterfire. Messages take longer to send in Matrix than they do in Lemmy, and Lemmy isn't even supposed to be a real-time chat app.

Did you blindly sign up for matrix.org?

What is the best instance with the largest user base?

Edit: and ...yes I did

I don't know. Why do you want a large user base?

Guessing at one reason:

It feels good to know that you’re not signing up for someone’s instance that they’re just trying out admining for the first time and maybe if they’re too busy to do the proper updates next weekend they’ll just close shop.

(And by shop I mean fantastic free volunteering effort of course!)
