Matrix

What's up, I'm new to matrix and have just been getting into it, I'm trying to replace discord with it. When prompted to make an account I stupidly chose the "continue with google" option. This didn't seem like such a big deal at first, but now as far as I can tell it's impossible for me to sign in on my phone. The element client on IOS doesn't have an option to continue with google, and since I chose that I don't have a password, and I can't make a password without providing my existing password (which I don't have). Does anyone have any ideas? should I just make a new account and start fresh?

Is this a friend request, a space invite, something else? Can I find a description somewhere or am I supposed to get invites from people I know?

Discord bots to give users collection games. Trying to move people off discord but this is a sticking point

Hey. Im thinking about creating matrix client based on telegram. I think their UI/UX is one of the best among messengers. Plus their android app is open source.

I have to take couple of things in consideration, like: licensing, technical details and some more. Its very possible from the technical perspective and pretty unclear from the licensing/legal perspective (since they could change license any moment or even go private).

In this post i would mostly like to know if open source community even wants anything related to telegram. Not everyone likes it. The project would target mainly open source community and will be public as well.

So the questions: Do you think we would want it? And would you personally try it?

Thank you <3

EDIT: :V If you think its bad idea, please tell me. I see much of positive response (and i feel pretty happy about it), but i have to be real, so if you think im wrong or you see any problems, please speak up :)

So I'll keep this brief. I really like Matrix's idea of a decentralized messaging platform, and after thr Telegram CEO got arrested in France, some friends are feeling iffy about staying there.

The main point of friction I'm encountering, however, is that whenever anyone goes and looks at Matrix and looks through available public servers to join, they're pretty quickly coming across some very undesirable rooms, to put it tactfully. Are there any ways that I could limit their visibility or ability to interact with those rooms? Server listing sites that make an effort to avoid listing those kinds of rooms, ways to block a room from showing up when you search within the client, etc? Currently we're running matrix.org accounts and using Element for PC/Android, to keep things simple.

I use the desktop app frequently and it would be great to have a modern, fast(er) app

Does it work well? Which one to choose? The official Matrix site shows 3 that seem maintained:

• matrix-appservice-discord
• mautrix-discord
• out-of-your-element

Does anyone have some insight? I don't want to try all of them.

Edit: I don't need anything super fancy like double puppeting. I just want the data from the several Discord communities I joined available through my Matrix server. And it's just me using it. But it should bridge the rooms properly and include the popular media formats, reactions etc.

I have heard these words used a lot in Matrix documentation. Here's what I think they mean:

• Bot: Like a Discord or Slack bot, can be run off of a normal account on a homeserver (no homeserver hosting required)
• Bridge: Connects Matrix and another messaging service, self-hosted homeserver seems to be required
• Integration: Another name for a Bot, or is it something displayed in Matrix clients (ex: Element has n Etherpad integration)???
• Appservice: A better bot???

There's also the whole language around bridges (puppeting, plumbing, etc.), but that's for another question.

Edit: Question based on DMA: element.io/blog/the-eu-digital-markets-act-is-here/

I have a TrueNAS scale NAS setup and I would like to host a matrix server. Do I have any options? Any particular implementation that I should go with? Does anyone have any experience with this?

Hey, I'm fortunate enough to upgrade my home-server. I'd like to make some future-proof decisions. Which Matrix server do I choose? Dendrite? Conduit?

I like the candidate to be halfway well maintained, have active development during the next 4 years... Would be nice if it had a solid technological base and wouldn't hog that many resources. I'm okay if it still has some rough edges as long as they get ironed out in the near future.

It needs to provide service to me and a few friends and family. Audio calls would be nice and I definitely need it to connect to the Mautrix-WhatsApp/-Signal bridges.

Did I miss something? Is there another good server implemention apart from Synapse/Dendrite/Conduit?

Bonus questions:

1. Is Synapse the only server that can connect to SSO? Ideally I would like to maintain the user accounts via Authentik/LDAP/...whatever...
2. Is there a server that can handle multiple domains? Like an e-mail server that I can just tell "you handle mail for the following 5 domain names?"

Exist some solution for spam filters in matrix ? For Example on Proton Mail you can create aliases so I create for each person/service a aliases to avoid spam. I thing we need also a concept for matrix for this problem.

Hi guys, I was looking for matrix.org's and Element Client's privacy policies and I saw something that says Matrix and Element shares data with AWS (Amazon Web Service), Cloudflare, Mythic Beasts, UpCloud. Is it safe to use? The matrix.org has good features as FOSS, decentralized etc. But this seem a lil bad. Any experts about prviacy?

I want to migrate my friends to self-hosted Matrix server I have for some time now. The problem is, that all Android clients seem missing for me. Element is too buggy (especially for encryption) and has bad UX. Element X is still experimental and lacks core features. FluffyChat has most features and nice ones like stickers, but calls or location sharing is here as a placeholder but not really working.

If you migrated someone to Matrix, what client did you found out to "be working" for people not caring about protocol? Because I care for protocol and can stand some bugs, that others could not.

I've set up my homeserver via matrix-docker-ansible-deploy, but made the mistake of using my domain as ansible_host variable at first. I think that is why now my Coturn server doesn't work as intended. Calls can only be made (in Element) when I enable turn.matrix.org as an alternative in the settings.

Since the initital setup, I've correctly replaced the domain with the server IP in the ansible inventory file and reran just setup-all, but I still can't make calls via my homeserver.

1. Is it likely that the mistake I made is causing this issue?
2. What can I do to correct the Coturn configuration or otherwise fix this issue?

EDIT:
I've found this in the docs: https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/master/docs/configuring-playbook-turn.md#manually-defining-your-public-ip
I'll try this and report back.
