I just reinstalled @element on Android and set up a new @matrix account on it. The handy UI that divided rooms and people (DMs) into separate tabs is gone, replaced by a one column UI with a confusing mixture of rooms and people. I've been through all the settings, multiple times, and I can't figure out how to get my familiar UI back.
Du coup je me réintéresse à #matrix .
Par contre je ne trouve pas trop de canaux actifs.
Des suggestions à me proposer? (Si possible en français)
Mon compte Matrix est dans mon profil si vous voulez qu'on rentre en contact par ce biais et éventuellement discuter là-bas
Installed bridge from #Matrix to #Discord, on my VPS with my Matrix instance. Now my instance has effectively better integration with Discord than with the rest of Matrix network.
(I cannot federate yet)
I know that we have a telegram chat for announcements but I think it would also be a good idea to also have a matrix space where we can also get announcements and maybe even also chat and get support.
One of the reasons I think we should is that not everyone has Telegram and it requires a phone number to sign up to, but a lot of people have Matrix and even if they don't it's easy to sign up to. Another reason is that telegram isn't a great platform due to it being a centralized corporate platform which is now allowing/forcing ads on it, some of which for very sketchy blockchain services, which obviously isn't great and is a pretty big reason people would want to avoid it.
(I posted this from #Mastodon so it could reach further and also so I could mention people).
If a #Telegram enthusiast could help me out with something.
Interested to know if there’s any technical or usability factors that would make you use Telegram over either another big tech offering (#WhatsApp, FB #Messenger) or another FOSS end to end encrypted service (#Signal, #Matrix). I’ve previously assumed that it was popular in Eastern Europe because it was made in the region, but don’t want to miss anything.
Years ago, I installed my own #Mastodon server out of sheer technical curiosity. I abandoned it as soon as I found out it worked. Later, I became a #Twitter consumer, and the #Musk buyout made me create a second Mastodon account. Now there's a #redditmigration, and I found out that you can follow and interact with #Lemmy posts from within my Mastodon app. I find this incredible and love the #Fediverse!
Now I am curious whether #Matrix and #Nextcloud could similarly be integrated.
If this lands on your feed, tell me about different features that are just missing in Matrix.
It can be anything, but please don't include memes like "unable to decrypt message" or other things that are already in the works, or maybe has already been merged (e.g media captions)
Some examples include better forwarded messages, rich profiles, or a live location sharing, just to name a few.
(I am writing something about this, boosts appreciated!)
We are positively overwhelmed with the outpouring of support 🚀
People are responding to our call for help! We've also had a number of smaller organizations show up and begin the process of becoming supporting members.
This is encouraging progress, though we still have a lot of work to do to hit our fundraising goals.
just came across #Telodendria (https://telodendria.io), a light weight #Matrix server written in C:
"You can run Telodendria on just about everything, including more traditional options like a personal home server or VPS, but also more obscure platforms like Raspberry Pis or retro computers"
"Telodendria aims to be stable. It should just work for long periods of time between upgrades, and you should never feel like it is going to change significantly between upgrades."
Hey, I'm currently doing a little research on the cost of modern social media and messaging, given that cost is an everlasting discussion when trying to move people to more free alternatives.
I am still looking for data for messaging, such as #XMPP and #Matrix. So if you have or know someone who operates a somewhat sizable instance for either XMPP or Matrix and would potentially share some details about operational cost with me I would love to hear about it! :)
You know who will never mine your private communications to train an LLM?
Better yet, you know whose words you don't need to trust, because you aren't obligated to use any particular server? And the software is open source? And regularly audited by security researchers?
Matrix.
It's not perfect, but no tool is. It's a matter of what trade offs you're willing to accept. Just sayin' ¯_(ツ)_/¯
PLEASE TELL YOUR FRIENDS. I am looking for a React-capable, full-stack developer who would like to lead a new fork of #Element.io. The existing forks are simply not very aggressive, and there is a massive void for a project that is. I am confident that a few new features and some better documentation will make it very popular, very fast. #developers#FOSS#matrix
To be honest: Even after the response, the original article – and my own experience with Matrix & Element – leaves me wondering whether Matrix is really the way to go, and whether these issues can ever be solved.
For some reason not all of my #Matrix conversations show up in #ElementX so I end up having two versions of #Element installed on my #Android phones which is not wonderful for battery life and data usage. Element X should have been branded as Element Beta or something along those lines.
I’m curious how many #OpenSource communities have had their communication bifurcated because the Libera.Chat #IRC bridge was shut down “temporarily” (seems indefinitely) on #Matrix?
#Matrix experience on the phone (iOS) is atrocious.
There are 3 clients total. Element seems to support all the features but has some horrendously bad UX. It's cryptic to the point where it's hard to figure how to navigate it. It also randomly doesn't show messages in the threads until very late after.
FluffyChat is clearly not a native app. You just feel it in how clunky the interactions are. Doesn't support threading either, which makes it useless for e.g. the slack bridge.
I remember Element X was actually a good experience, but it requires some specific protocol extension that's implemented with a proxy that doesn't work with Conduit
Bridges on Matrix
I recently discovered that bridges exist on Matrix allowing you to communicate with others on different platforms....
