Like everywhere i said this opinion it has’nt went well was my experience because i used the wrong server or something ? I felt like it was seveely underpolished and felt like i was in a ghost town like i get it there are uses like joining a foss project community but there is no internet randos to chat and the clunkiness threw me out immedietly . Anyway thoughts and opinions ?
Saw this thread and though “why does he call himself Morpheus if he doesn’t like the movie?” But it’s not about that, is it?
I love the idea of Matrix, but I’m so done with Element on my phone telling me it is “Syncing…” for two minutes, only to end up with 1 new message in 1 channel… 😅
the element x version has been working much better for me wrt sync speed. still in beta and missing some features but overall very nice
Still no threads, right?
no but I personally don’t use threads, and sliding sync is really nice. won’t work for all yet. here’s a more complete feature list https://github.com/element-hq/element-meta/issues/1915
You are not alone. It’s very clunky, and empty. And I find the UI (to clarify, I use Element) unintuitive. Hopefully it picks up. It’s a great idea. But the implementation seems to need some work.
i kinda hate it. rough is an understatement
Depends on what you expect and what you want to use. Some features are definitely hit or miss, others are great. Others are great in theory, but not yet properly implemented.
I migrated my family and friends instant messaging there years ago. Back then the e2e was bulky ( no cross signing) and but voice and video was slow and unreliable.
All those got fixed, and now it’s very convenient to use. And it definitely is unbeatable in terms of transparent security.
The community features and “talk to randoms” aspect I never really explored, so can’t say much about that. Never had a need for it. Old reddit or Lemmy serves that itch better for me.
