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?

      Yes it does support but best on desktop. On android only pretty much “legacy” and not anymore worked on element which has performance issues

      They are working on that, yes.

      But I would rather have no threads than those like Element has… what a mess 🫠
