    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

            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.

                  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.
