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 :)
