So, I host a Matrix Stack and I bridge to Signal (and Discord). It's the best of both worlds -- all my messages funnel through one application.
Seeing as you're using Lemmy/PieFed, I'm going to guess you've got a handle on how federation works. I'd suggest Matrix.
With your bridging to discord, do you have dm capabilities? Able to join servers you don't control? Because I'm nervous about the idea of getting banned for puppeting since I have multiple big servers I'm in charge of
Yes, to all points. I've backed out of busy or large servers primarily because I didn't care about them. Control is granular enough to join specific channels, as well. I don't know that anyone can even tell I'm bridged.
