@cyrus as for clients I found #Element a pain, especially with multiple accounts. Notifications were especially problematic. I’ve been using #FluffyChat.
The more I use #Matrix the more I yearn for #xmpp.
The amount of resources a Matrix home server consumes is pretty insane too.
I also have this annoying bug / behavior with any Matrix client (#Element iOS and desktop, #fluffychat ) where the chat view randomly jumps around while you’re reading a backlog. It kinda sucks.
@kubikpixel i tried element but it didn’t last. FluffyChat has been my favorite for now. Multiple profiles and notifications are my favorite functions.
But the thing that draws me to Olvid — if it is confirmed — is that it offers client to client direct comms, like Telegram private chat.
What do people get out of using #SMS#Slack or #Discord that @matrix (and apps that interface with it) doesn't provide? The decentralized web should be able to win this fight.
Also, I wonder how many people are happy with #IRC and maybe then aren't interested in (or even aware of) what's now possible. I love using #matrix for calls on my show.
Miettinyt tässä, että mitä voidaan oppia case #MastodoFi:stä. Ainakin, että yhden henkilön varassa instanssissa on aina sellainen tietty epävarmuus. Vaikka itse olen todella intohimoisesti mukana ja homma jatkuu niin pitkään kuin minussa henki pihisee (ja todennäköisesti sen jälkeenkin, koska olen tehnyt valmisteluja), olisi mukavaa, että olisi joku toinenkin joka pystyisi tarvittaessa ottamaan ohjat, jos olen estynyt.
Tästä heräsi ajatus. Meitä suomalaisia admineita on jonkin verran, siis sellaisia jotka pyörittää instanssiaan yksin. Mitä jos perustettaisiin jokin suomi-MastoAdmin-kollektiivi, jossa auteltaisiin toisiamme? Miitattaisiin vaikka IRL tai videoitse. Näin tulisi sellaista lisäturvaa hommaan.
so my goal with sup. is to make a federated snapchat/whatsapp that is compatible with most platforms.
This was originally going to be a Pixelfed specific Messenger-like app, but then it hit me - this is a perfect opportunity to create a sub project that could be eventually handed over to a trusted org.
Is there not a functional #android app for #matrix that does not completely suck? #Element hangs a lot before it updates chats at all, same for #SchildiChat but not as long and not as frequent. #FluffyChat is over simplified and doesn't seem to have a way to have unread chats be on top, nor is there any jump to last read spot. Other clients don't have spaces, so they are already eliminated. Is there no other option? #matrixchat
Seriously… I know it is hard to #GiveUpGitHub. But migrating somewhere, and then, in 2023, moving into that shithole? Having resources to do the work of moving somewhere, and then moving to the worst place you can get in that valuable time?
It might be only me, but really, what's on these people's minds?
🤦♂️ Great. #Fluffychat is acting super slow when loading a new #Matrix room. I wonder if there's a way I could troubleshoot it quickly because I need to get in contact with #Calckey support to discuss bugs I found.
