yup, thats steamDB, I do wonder how many devs installed it via DL from the site or other ways

I didnt even think about that lmao

Check out cinny.in it's a discord styled client for matrix

Theres valid reasons to not like discord or not being FOSS isn't one of them personally

How does it have lemmy integration?

Discord has decent UX and the voice channels are great and easy to use, it's far from garbage, just because it isn't open source and technically matrix is mainly made/maintained by one company who made it at the same time, they don't own it and there's a separate entity the matrix foundation which is non profit which owns the actual spec and all that stuff but the majority of stuff done in the spec was by element/new vector

Did you try with your own self hosted server or something being hosted by someone else/a company?

You can kinda have that with spaces, I don't see any reason why clients couldn't sort them like discord does, would probably need something added to the spec so they can be sorted a certain way if users wanted to

I'm not 100% sure, I would ask in the support room for the bridge which should be on that page

You mean bridging other platforms?

Native group calls are being actively worked on with element call and what Do you mean by channels?

You can use matrix for groups easily, it's what I mainly use it for

It scales with alot of users on a few servers fine but when it gets to a few thousand servers in the room it starts to lag, which isn't that common

Spaces are similar to discords servers/guilds yeah, but rooms don't have to be in a space and they can be in as many spaces as anyone wants

https://t2bot.io/discord/ is a free discord bridge you can use or host your own since the bridge is fully open source

I forgot about that, cheers for reminding me

There is the nonprofit matrix foundation who owns and controls the spec, currently most of the work done is done by element/new vector since the founders of matrix founded it to fund development of matrix

The DMA makes it so they can't it they are classed as a gatekeeper

Matrix is working to be the protocol that all messengers will be mage to talk

They are similar but matrix rooms are fully decentralised compared to xmpp where if the server the room/muc/channel was made in goes down for whatever reason means it can't be used/talked in, unlike matrix where every server in the room "hosts" it
