This is a continuation of informal posts about the current state of Revolt as compared to Discord. As things stand, Revolt is probably the best replacement for Discord, however, a number of features have not yet been implemented.

As things stand, development of Revolt is a very slow process. There is little indication as to what changes are being actively developed/worked on outside of the GitHub repository. However, there was an update to the Android app that added swipe to reply and server creation in-app.

Missing Features

List is incomplete because I have only just started using Revolt myself.

  • Video chat
  • Voice chat on Android (iOS works I believe)
  • Screen sharing
  • Category and synced permissions
  • Mic noise suppression
  • Safety settings (who can message and friend you)
  • Server verification levels (email or phone verification)

Minor features (need to confirm some)

  • Server folders
  • Ephemeral (private responses to commands)
  • Embedded polls
  • A few formatting methods
  • Stickers
  • /Commands
  • Soundboard
  • Invite limits
  • Channel following
  • Apps

Once you can use self hosted server on the apps I'll switch my servers over.

Dont forget a role system like Discord's, can't really do access control within a server as it is.
