Oh, I was just going through the github, my fault for not being thorough.

Seems like he is using it well and not just having it code the project for him. If this can beat matrix in voice channels + screen sharing/video sharing then that would be awesome.

My group of friends uses discord since I am very far away from them and we need the screen sharing and webcam video feed for D&D.

It's a promising project for sure, though it will have to prove that it can scale up without bogging down.

As an alternative, there's also Movim, which uses a more mature back-end. If you'd like, you could try that out with a friend to see if it can handle your needs. It offers both group video calls and screen-sharing (must use a chromium based browser to screen-share with audio for now), and it's already federated and offers optional encryption based on Signal's style of encryption.

Do you know if there are specific sub-forums on Movim with active communities? My very first impression- it looks like there are plenty of articles available but not many people discussing them.

Like Lemmy a few years ago, there is not yet a large community on Movim. I'm hoping that an exodus of Discord users who give Movim a try will bring with it more activity, just as the reddit API exodus did with Lemmy a couple years back. The first adopters may need to rely on just using it to communicate with friends for a bit as they either wait for others to build communities, or build some themselves, which is what made Lemmy as healthy and vibrant as it is today :)
