Looking for a Discord alternative (lemm.ee)

I use the screen sharing feature on discord to watch movies with my friends but I would prefer a FOSS alternative. I've tried Element/Matrix with the Jitsi add on but it seems like you can't share the audio using that and the app can be a bit buggy in general. Does anyone have any other recommendations?

If you're watching movies with friends and want a FOSS alternative, Jellyfin is the way to go. It's basically a way to host a media streaming center that others can connect to. It might be a bit overkill depending on your needs, but it's great for that exact purpose. It doesn't have chat or anything, though, so you'll want to keep something else around for that.
