Migrate from Discord to Matrix
Moving a Discord community to Matrix without an importer: running the mautrix-discord bridge for a transition period so both sides see the same channels, what the bridge carries, and why past history cannot be pulled from Discord's per-user data packages.
How to export your data from Discord
What Discord's per-user Data Package contains (your own sent messages, servers and activity as JSON, attachments as CDN links), how long it takes, and why a server owner cannot export a community's full message history this way.
Discord vs Mattermost
For companies that started on Discord and now need managed accounts, retention and SSO: Discord's community-first model against self-hosted Mattermost, which editions add SSO and compliance export, what is lost (voice channels and community features), and why there is no direct import path.
Bridging Discord to Matrix during a migration
Running the mautrix-discord bridge so members can keep using Discord while the community moves to a self-hosted Matrix homeserver: what the bridge relays (messages, media, replies, reactions and threads), how backfill works, and when to switch the bridge off.
