matrix-discord-bridge

A simple bridge between Matrix and Discord written in Python.

This repository contains two bridges:

• A puppeting appservice: The puppeting bridge written with minimal dependencies. Running this requires a self-hosted homeserver.

• A non-puppeting bridge: The non-puppeting plaintext bridge written with matrix-nio and discord.py, most people would want to use this one if running on heroku or similar and don't have their own server. NOTE: This is unmaintained and might break in the future due to Discord changes.

Check their READMEs for specific information.

What Works

• Puppeting (Appservice only, regular bridge only uses webhooks on Discord.)
• Attachments (Converted to URLs.)
• Typing Indicators (Per-user indicators on Appservice, otherwise sent as bot user.)
• Message redaction
• Replies
• Bridging multiple channels
• Discord emojis displayed as inline images
• Sending Discord emotes from Matrix (:emote_name:)
• Mentioning Discord users via partial username (@partialname)

TODO

• Handle cases where the webhook is messed with on the Discord side (Deleted/Edited by someone other than the bot).
• Use embeds on Discord side for replies.
• Unbridging.
