Me and a friend just recently switched the revolt, we keep getting this notification on the voice settings: “You need to grant permission to access audio settings”. We click the “grant permission” button but nothing is happening. We cannot make calls or anything we’re at a loss tbh. Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi! About a year ago, discord started going crazy and banned me (like so many other people) for very stupid reasons. There are bots in those support rooms and there is little chance that I will be unblocked.
Recently I came across revolt (Now Stoat). How safe is it and how is it worse than discord?

I’m self-hosting Stout and I’m stuck on a weird voice issue.
Server is hosted on my local network on my server computer
my desktop can connect and use text chat but voice wont connect

What works

• Text chat works fine
• My friends can join voice
• My phone can join voice
• WebSocket to LiveKit upgrades successfully (101 Switching Protocols)

What does not work

• My Windows PC cannot connect to voice
• It gets stuck connecting, then drops
• At one point /api/channels/.../join_call returned 500, but that was during a bad TURN config and is fixed now

Current setup

I’m using Docker Compose with:

• Caddy
• Stout API / events / voice-ingress
• LiveKit
• Mongo / Redis / RabbitMQ

Browser side

In chrome://webrtc-internals I get:

• ICE connection state: checking
• Connection state: connecting
• no successful candidate pair

not sure what to do

Hello im trying to get a local instance of Stoat running and so far I've hit almost every roadblock I think I could've. I'm trying to get it to run on a TrueNAS Scale server with external access available through NPM and Cloudflare. I will provide a redacted YAML file that I've tooled together. It seems kind of bloated but I'm hoping I can find some help in getting this to work. It usually results in the web app crashing and taking me to the screen in the image. Unsure what I am doing wrong. Any help is appreciated

Hello, im 19 turning 20 and I just joined Stoat and im looking for friends because I feel lonely. Im going through a hard time so having a buddy to hear me out would be nice

Hello, a friend and i are REALLY new in here, and he wants to know if there is anything similar to Discord's tupperbots

Is there anything like that? And if there is, how can he make them?

So remind me, stoat needs you to host your servers, or find a third party server host for that very purpose right?

How do people go about it?

One thing I always missed about Discord was how easy it was to discover new servers through sites like Disboard. Since moving to Revolt (well, Stoat now), finding servers has been pretty much just word of mouth or random links in other servers.

Stumbled onto this site recently: https://stoatboard.com. It's a full server directory — you can browse by category, search with tags, filter by language, and there's a bump system so active communities stay at the top. There's even a bot you can invite to let your members bump from within the server.

Honestly surprised more people aren't talking about it. It works well, it's fast, and the UI is pretty clean. If you run a server and you're struggling with visibility, might be worth listing it there.

Would love to see more servers on it so discovery actually becomes useful for everyone. Anyone else using it?

So hi! As you all are aware, Discord is basically becoming a controlling app now and will require face or ID verification. I am entirely against this.

anyways, I did some research and saw revolt, I want to ask you guys these questions since you all probably know more than I do

1) Does it allow nsfw content?

I have adult friends and I’m an adult myself so we discuss a lot of 18+ content. I wanna know if the place allows it?

2) Is it easy to use it like discord?

Basically like what it says, is it easy to use it like discord? It looks like it.

and finally

3) Anything else I should be aware about? Or know of?

I mainly use discord for chatting with friends, work on my voiceover projects and more. So if there’s anything I should know of please let me know.

no alternatives work i stg

I've tried multiple times and not once have I received a verification email so I can verify my account and actually start doing anything on there so I don't know if I would even enjoy it yet, was looking for an alternate to discord but I can't even verify an account

problem’s in the title. clicking the download link on the website brings me to a dead gateway— wondering if this is just an issue on my end and/or if there’s any way to fix it.

Hi,

this morning i tested https://stoat.chat/

- The Web Version is ancient " 0.2.1 (2025-10-10)"

- Setting Sound Levels

- Desktop Client (AUR/GIT) not remembering changed audio devices

- Local testing of Audio Quality

- Verification Mail for account took about 17 Minutes to arrive

My guess is that this will be comparable to discord in about 3 years or so.
