  Matrix is cool but its user base is not there yet.

    Then stop driving people to discord alone, at least use both so there’s an option

      So… split the user (and support) base while invariably emphasizing the shortcomings of Matrix?

        You can link them together at least that’s how the discord and matrix chats are for our instance are

        You can create a webhook in Discord and in Matrix that will share messages in channels back and forth

    By that logic, why are you on lemmy?

    • Sanguine@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      And I’m on matrix too, but I’m just an individual. If I were trying to advertise my project I’d probably use discord / reddit as well tbh

      • onlinepersona@programming.dev ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Why not both?

        Also, if all projects advertised only the largest platforms, how would small platforms grow?

  Matrix is a terrible experience, honestly. It’s incredibly slow and their “servers” don’t really function as a community as much as a series of chat groups.

  Discord is feature-rich. And now has the option to submit posts, which drastically increases usability and searchability. But it does have a big problem with privacy and ads.

  Projects like this are much better suited for something like Gitlab.

    matrix.org works just fine. Nowadays, the experience is as good as on any other chat app

      Element is the thing that’s subpar (to be generous) compared to other chat apps. Element X is better for the features that have been implemented, but the current feature set is very incomplete.

        Mobile yes, desktop isn’t subpar ime

      Beg to differ.

    Element on iOS is absolutely, definitely, slow!

    Desktop is better or worse or the same?

    source

    • helenslunch@feddit.nl ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Pretty much the same

  I wonder why they don’t just set up a forum

  source

  • ericjmorey@programming.dev ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Perhaps they could create a community on programming.dev

  I think Matrix suffers from some issues with large communities, for instance Graphene OS has already had to abandon 2-3 of their main group chats due to same bug and last time I checked (2-3 months ago) there has even been talks of switching to Discord. That is, just in case, a community of some of the most diehard privacy nerds btw

  Even cooler page to sell you on the app. Very smooth gifs

    Gifs are the USP
