Hey y’all, was considering giving Zulip a try. I’ve got a group of friends that do everything from play games together, share memes, and organize medium-ish sized events that require a fair amount of coordination.
I was considering doing a self-host and was curious if doing this through a VPS service would work?
I was also maybe wanting to host somewhere I could also do a CMS and maybe a foundary instance.
As far as the CMS goes it would be a simple blog for sharing music and things.
Foundary is a VTT similar to roll20.
Thanks in advance!
Is there a particular reason for Zulip vs something like Signal or Jitsi or Matrix? (Also asking for myself because I’ve been looking into Matrix again lately and this is the second time I’ve seen Zulip come up and in relation to VTTs lol)
signal is more like whatsapp/telegram than slack/discord
jitsi is actually kinda being used in zulip. theres a button to create and send a new jitsi meeting.
matrix should theoretically be ok but the ux is still too bad imo
As far as I can tell, Signal can’t do multiple text channels in the same way discord can. Migrating a Discord ‘server’ onto a Signal chat would only work if it were a small group. Anything bigger than that would basically just give you a really big and disorganized group chat (though it would at least be a private disorganized group chat).
Been looking for ease of use and a few people just are adverse to matrix, hoping Zulip would be a hit easier for them but I don’t know yet
