Getting sick of Discord? Wish you could take charge of your digital communications? There’s a good alternative, and the grass is greener on the other side…



i also felt like movim would be themost fitting/ feature complete and easy (just create an account and go), but for some reason i just cannot get calls to work. i’m probably doing something wrong, but considering that i’m a serial chat app tester, i expected to be able to troubleshoot it… eventually, i managed to take the movie.eu account and call via dino and monal, but that’s not as feature complete as movim. do you have any recommendations for using movim for calls?
It took me a bit to figure out how to make a call (definitely bad UX). What got it working for me was adding the other user as a contact (beyond just messaging them, it’s like a different thing), and then making sure they also added me as contact, and each person accepted that contact request, then the call button seemed to show up, and the call worked fine, even video.
