Even the matrix homeserver is pretty dead, days between messages
I kinda prefer having little activity, it helps me be able to go about my day and not check my phone all the time in case I miss anything
I use them as a chat app, to chat, discord usually as one for webcomic fandoms mostly
Anything less than 5 messages an hour you might as well just use mastodon
Yea I get what you mean, you dont want too little acitivity or it feels dead. I also mostly use discord for chatting but I have element as a secondary messenger. Most of the rooms I’m in are pretty active thankfully.
Use https://matrixrooms.info/ to find some rooms :)
Thank you! That’s exactly what I was looking for, a actual room list
Do you mean matrix.org?
My instance is working fine.
Matrix is federated, it doesn’t really matter which homeserver you use. You can jon and participate in rooms on any homeserver.
That’s the one
Maybe I just don’t understand the way it works? I see some public channels but they’re all quiet AF
What instance are you on?
Unless it’s down, stuff should work.
I run my own, so if it’s down I can fix it myself. I do have some friends on matrix.org that I message with through federation, and some lemmy matrix spaces that are hosted on matrix.org.
If some other instance is down, like matrix.org, rooms and users hosted there will be unreachable until it returns.
The matrix-client.matrix.org instance
It seems to be responding normally.
Monero.social has quite a few active rooms.
