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?
Anyone who says Matrix is a suitable replacement for Discord is delusional.
But you can self-host Revolt chat, which is very similar.
Revolt with federation (they are hinting XMPP) would be very nice
As of right now, Revolt does not feature any federation and it is not in our feature roadmap.
Yeah it does. The main app didn’t yet last I checked but there were other apps that did.
