    There was a new release last month on March 4th.

    Server seems to be a Rust app

    Web App is nice
    Desktop is electron based

    Looking very professional considering it's college kids making it.

    @robi Oh absolutely. Just had a weird issue where it didn't let me confirm a new account. This is still very commendable. I know I wasn't doing stuff like this as a student lol

      Would be good to start testing this.

      Desktop apps for Linux, MacOS and Windows.
      Mobile app: rvmob
      Minecraft client
      TUI: CLI based client

      Anyone able to get it running?

              Well, with the latest AI Bullshit, Discord fills shit pants. Revolt would come in handy 😄

                @RazielKanos never used revolt (or much of discord for that matter). How is it fundamentally different from element/matrix or rocket.chat ? I guess the UI?

                  Just logged in to look at the demo of the latest. It is a very nice UI, although credit to Discord for their original design. It is very fast too, perhaps the fastest chat UX I've seen too. Reaction emojis seem to be a missing feature but maybe that's intentional.

                  Honestly, I can see the value in having it packaged as a Cloudron app because the type of people using these communities have the numbers and attitude to broadcast their praise and viral referrals to anything, so maybe Revolt on Cloudron would gain a lot of referrals for Cloudron.

                  Between the Discord and Slack communities, the Total Addressable Market (TAM) for Revolt is huge. Element is OK. Rocket Chat we know the issues with that. Nextcloud Talk does the job. But from my experience with chat apps, since Atlassian's HipChat, I can see the distinction and USP of Revolt. So still a 👍 from me on this.

                    Well, it's nearly a 1:1 clone of discord, and so it has a massive potential for streamers and their communities to be used. Discord has taken the voice chat market by storm, but now and there more and more stories get published that they log EVERYTHING.

                    Especially if - for example THIS GUY (

                    ) would pick up a story about revolt on cloudron, make sure your gates will get stormed 😄

                      @RazielKanos it looks like it is just a 3rd party discord client as opposed to a 1:1 clone. Never mind - it does seem to be separate from discord.

                            Yes I say we give these guys a chance at Revolt in Cloudron, I would love to see this and use it asap 😉 most apps like Discord are just Mumble based apps like Zello. Mumble made the best voice codec ever. I am using Rocketchat but it would be so cool to have a voice channel chatroom like revoltchat, love to see this on cloudron for use self-hosted Users 😉

                              @sir-paradise All good insights and points. IN the meantime, if you've not tried yet, we've found Nextcloud Talk very reliable in daily use.

                                  There is a relatively recently updated docker-compose that helps detail out the packaging flow.

                                  Might be a nifty challenge for @Kubernetes

                                    They seem to not have true desktop apps yet, so cannot support global push-to-talk keys... Sadly, it's a must have IMO.

                                    Looks like they do have desktops apps for all platforms these days 🙂

                                      Considering that Discord has said goodbye to it's (never true) ad-free policy as well a revolt is currently gaining more traction again.
                                      (https://www.techspot.com/news/102455-discord-looks-boost-gaming-revenue-ditching-long-time.html)
                                      It might be a even more interesting addition now.

                                          @Enabl-ist said in Revolt - open source and privacy-friendly Discord alternative:

                                          I think this one is needed to get it running with docker-compose
                                          https://github.com/revoltchat/self-hosted
                                          That pulls images from
                                          https://github.com/revoltchat/revite

                                          It seem all a bit confusing/ in flux at the moment because https://github.com/revoltchat/revite says "This project is deprecated" whereas https://github.com/revoltchat still has this table which says its recommends for use

                                          804a88fb-804b-4e65-8d5a-e4b832cc4e60-image.png

                                          But above that has a note saying:

                                          revoltchat/frontend is the next-generation Revolt client, more details here

                                          So looks like going forward https://github.com/revoltchat/frontend will be the frontend to use, but presumably the self-hosting docker still pulls from revite.

                                          I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner
