  My vote is for Matrix

    Matrix is a laggy dumpsterfire. Messages take longer to send in Matrix than they do in Lemmy, and Lemmy isn’t even supposed to be a real-time chat app.

      Did you blindly sign up for matrix.org?

        The first time yeah, but I tried it again on another instance and it was better (at least it didn’t fail to load half the time), but still super slow. The 2nd time is what I was talking about.

        What is the best instance with the largest user base?

        Yeah, pick literally any other instance. I went with Mozilla’s, but there are plenty of alternatives. Or host your own!

      Homeserver issue most likely.

      Try Element X if you have a mobile. It’s rebuilt on the new sdk and offers a new architecture that has messages come in way faster than on Element (original)

      My homeserver is a one-person Conduit installation, and slowness is not something I have encountered. However, in groupchats that happened to be encrypted there were moments when my messages failed to decrypt for others. That might’ve been due to my own carelessness with the VPS though.

    I haven’t heard of Matrix but I’ve heard of Revolt.

    Matrix any good?

    source

    • L_Acacia@lemmy.one ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Revolt tries to be a discord clone/replacement and suffer from some of the same issues. Matrix happens to have a lot of feature in common, but is focused on privacy and security at its core.

  Revolt is the only feature-rich swap in option.

• ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  Matrix is the closest replacement, and XMPP can replicate some functionality too.

• MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  There isn’t a full alternative, but if you just want text chat with some voice chat added on there are options like Matrix.
