  Yes it needs extra steps if you are selfhosting and is not supported in the third party app clerotri for example. It seemed an hassle enough that I did not try it on my selfhosted instance.

    Gotcha that does match my impression.

    You’re right though, there’s value in it being a drop-in replacement for discord. Along those lines, I’m very excited for cinny, a matrix discord-like frontend. There’s a PR for voice calls that I check every now and then, the moment that goes in I’ll be trying to convince my friends to hop over.

      Why not any of the other Matrix clients? I’ve got some friends on Element with some bridges and it’s pretty much perfect.

        The UI of the ones I’ve tried (schildichat, fluffy, element) felt very unintuitive to me. Spaces were really awkward because it was a different paradigm.

        I’m hoping that the familiarity of cinny will help with wider adoption.
