Comment on I created a public activity tracker for the matrix protocol network

I’ve never explored the Matrix. Reddit use to be the only ‘social media’ type outlet that I frequented, and now Lemmy. Total Accounts: 2,222,678. That seems significant.

In hindsight the accounts counter was incorrect it was adding up all the accounts from every room without considering that many of the same accounts come from different rooms. I’ll have to add a deeper tracker which I don’t think is necessary to track individual accounts, outside of the scope of the activity tracker.

So, for the clueless (me), what is Matrix. I hear people talk about it. Is it a chat platform, forum platform like Lemmy, or other. Might as well ask the stupid questions.

My impression is that it’s inspired by Discord, so let’s say a chat with forum features, or a forum with an instantaneous feeling

I went and looked it up yesterday. The protocol itself seems very fascinating, and the fact that there is a handful of governments that have adopted the Matrix protocol seems huge. I’ve always thought it was a chat platform and that’s not really my bag, so I never investigated. Hell, I don’t even FaceTime anyone except my lady friend, but for those who do use that channel of communications, it seems like it would be the ticket.
