I haven’t heard of Matrix but I’ve heard of Revolt.
Matrix any good?

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.

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?
Starbuncle@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
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?
LodeMike@lemmy.today 2 months ago
I don’t know. Why do you want a large 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.
