- Oh you want to get on Matrix?
Download one of these 8 apps that’s only available through a website or F-Droid, 2 haven’t updated in 2 years, no we won’t tell you which.
- Then go to one of the 20 million homeservers
no they’re not servers, it just is where your account info lives, and nothing else
- Then you have to find servers on your own
there’s no “Explore” mode, there’s 20 websites that list servers, 5 of them are outdated, another 5 only work on a Tuesday

Just use the Element client on desktop and Element X on mobile. Use the Matrix.org homeserver by the matrix foundation if you don’t know any other/better choice for you personally. Bam and you’re in. I actually really value the choice in clients tho. With the decentralized way of Matrix there’s lots of options but just pick the mainstream once for starters

Doesn’t solve the last two points

Well its not discord so ofc there’s not as much traffic. And the decentralized listing is just part of the decentralized nature of it. Lemmy also doesn’t have as much traffic as reddit yet here we are

Lemmy at least has built-in discoverabilty, you can search the entire federation, with ease, all from the search UI
