I’ve been trying to use Matrix to replace sites like Discord or Slack. But it seems that if a user creates an invitation-only room in a server, then invited users who are registered on other servers get errors when trying to join. Not very useful error messages either: “Failed to join room”. (In my case, I tried creating accounts and rooms at nitro.chat and then at converser.eu, but friends registered at matrix.org don’t manage to join).
Quite a let-down. Anyone who’s facing the same problem and has maybe managed to solve it?

Yeah it does. The main app didn’t yet last I checked but there were other apps that did.

Revolt with federation (they are hinting XMPP) would be very nice

One can only hope, but it is still very promising without.
Do you use it?
Yea, but voice is pretty borked atm.

Have you tried wormhole?

Check it out. A lot of the systems like Discord Etc limit file sizes so vigorously. Because they operate like men in the middle. Can you send them the file first. Then whoever you’re sending it to can download it from them. It’s adding extra steps to the whole thing. With something like Wormhole you can even link a file from your phone. As long as you are on Wi-Fi and not going to be chewing through data minutes LOL. All the app does is connect the end points. Once they’re connected then you send the file directly to whomever you want. And the only limits on file sizes are realistically at the endpoints.
