Threads are the first thing that comes to mind.

For one thing: know that, *as of today*, even if you don't see the thread in EX, you'll see thread replies as replies to other messages. And, replying to such a message will keep it in a thread, for other clients that are compatible with threads.

Also, this is getting implemented as we speak; Yours Truly is personally working on that, and I do want to make sure they work great in the Rust SDK (which powers #ElementX/ #Fractal / #Robrix et al.)

I swear to god, if #ElementX crashes one more time on macOS, when I just click on an image, I'll just throw the whole damn computer at the wall. This fucking messenger is so ridiculously buggy.

@daniel What frustrates me the most about #Matrix is that Vector clusterfucked the client situation themselves. Having a de facto default, "go-to" Matrix client with feature parity across all platforms was one of the biggest strengths. Now we have feature split between two official clients. And the one they promote these days is still an unfinished beta. 🤯 It is absolutely mindboggling how you can screw up this bad.

#XMPP leidet seit Jahren darunter, dass kein Client wie der andere funktioniert. So hat es zig Jahre gebraucht bis #OMEMO in den wichtigsten Clients vertreten war und dann stolperte man auch noch lange danach über die unterschiedlichen Implementierungen und Defaults. Tja, steckt halt kein Geld drin, alles historisch gewachsen. Immerhin laufen XMPP-Server auf Kartoffeln.

#Matrix-Server nicht, aber dafür wollte man alles besser machen: Dicke Finanzierung, große Akteure an Bord geholt, Standardclient #Element, der quasi die anzustrebenden Feature-Defaults vorgibt. Und jetzt geh ich als Newbie auf die offizielle Seite von Element und will den Messenger runterladen: element.io/download
Dort wird mir dann #ElementX nahegelegt. Blöd ist nur, dass das Ding zig Sachen nicht kann, die man über Jahre hinweg beim alten Element eingeführt hat und wo viele Leute inzwischen drauf bauen. X hat keine Unterstützung für Spaces, keine Nachrichten-Threads, keine Nachrichten-Suche. In meinen Matrix-Gruppen hab ich ständig Diskussionen, ob wir dieses oder jenes Feature nutzen können, weil Client XY es nicht unterstützt – darunter der FRICKING Hauptmessenger von #Matrix. Es ist zum Verzweifeln. 😫 (2/?)

@DoKo @moshidon Setting up #UnifiedPush today has almost driven me insane. Tried different distributors, different #ntfy servers, not even the UP test app was triggering notifications despite registering successfully (as all other apps did). Then I switched to the official ntfy server and most apps started working but #ElementX based #Matrix clients did not. Then I read about this issue: github.com/element-hq/element-
And after a while they just started working too... but not the original Element client. 🤦 🤷

I think one of the most annoying thing about using #Matrix, or rather, the #ElementX app is the fact that read mesages/notifications don’t get cleared from the notification section (when read from different or even the same client). It’s annoying and very quickly litters your notifications.

It's a known issue (that no one seems to care about?):

Cool. I just tested #ElementX with a fresh #matrix.org account, and what shall I say: Not a single thing works flawlessly. Not even starting a simple 1:1 chat with another user works without major quirks (initial message is missing and never shows up; Element X doesn't find the DM room and starts a second room when trying to verify the other user).

Good that @element is sunsetting the classic #ElementAndroid 🙄.

Question to the #Matrix people out there. As far as I understand it "Element Calls" is the new Voip standard for Matrix, implemented in #ElementX on Android.

This means that when I use ElementX I can call other ElementX clients. My #Element desktop client doesn't receive the calls and I can't call a ElementX client from the desktop. I don't know the status on iOS as there is no such thing as ElementX as far as I know.

Is there somewhere a overview about the implementation status / roadmap?

Strypey

ElementX is *so* much faster than the current stable versions of Element and its various soft forks (I'm currently using SchildiChat).

As I've said before, I'm guessing it will take another 6-12 months for all the Matrix 2.0 upgrades to be rolled out and fully stabilized in the various app and server software. But if ElementX performance is anything to go by, the new and improved Matrix ecosystem will be well worth an open-minded test.

The #ElementX app is nice. I want everyone I know to use @matrix. it can give us the group functionality (and tighter sense of community) people want here. It can let people control their involvement in text threads in a way that is lacking with SMS/MMS. and it does voice and video. it's encrypted but also decentralized unlike #whatsapp and #signal. how has POTS/PSTN lasted so long?
