I think Matrix/Element is just a tad too confusing. Similar to Mastodon. I don’t know how, but Lemmy is the least confusing to use application within the Fediverse. I have easily been able to just subscribe to whatever I want and see it all.
With Mastodon, I can’t just see a big feed of content like Twitter, and then follow who I want to.
And Matrix/Element is… Just not quite Discord levels of usable.

I’ve only used Lemmy and this is a scary thought.
I know some people don’t want it anyway, but if there is ever going to be a mass exodus from the corporations to the fediverse, fediverse needs to seriously work on the sign up process. And can’t threaten defederation every 5 minutes, which probably means they need proper modding tools/features.
Well, they just need to make the applications work exactly like their alternatives. Mastodon should show a random feed across the entire Mastodon Fediverse. And Matrix/Element should have a “Discover” section to allow you to browse the entire Matrix, and needs DMs
There’s a setting to put them into seperate sections and aside from that, Element isn’t the only Matrix client. And for group DMs you can just make a group chat.
I thought so too but they only support 20mb uploads. I understand why but also it’s a dealbreaker for me. If they could build in some sort of compression like Discord or any other social media service but I’d have switched but right now if I try to upload a 20 second via it’s just like “yeah nah”.
Revolt is a great alternative to Discord, although I personally am still rooting for Matrix/Element in the long run.
If Revolt had federation I’d be more willing to root for it but the devs have made it clear they have no plans to do so :(
Regardless it’s a cool piece of software and more competition is a good thing. It’ll be cool to see how it matures

DMs are one of Matrix’s main features
They don’t really work like Discord DMs… Maybe that has changed since I last used Element though.
idk what you mean by that… you can send messages or files to eachother, just like on discord. What else is there?
They aren’t in a separate section as far as I remember. And you couldn’t have Group DMs.
