Discord isn’t exactly known for generous file-sharing limits, still, the messaging app offered a 25MB limit to free users. The company has now updated its support page to reflect the upload limit for free users has been lowered to 10MB.

Homeserver issue most likely.

Try Element X if you have a mobile. It’s rebuilt on the new sdk and offers a new architecture that has messages come in way faster than on Element (original)

Did you blindly sign up for matrix.org?

My homeserver is a one-person Conduit installation, and slowness is not something I have encountered. However, in groupchats that happened to be encrypted there were moments when my messages failed to decrypt for others. That might’ve been due to my own carelessness with the VPS though.

I haven’t heard of Matrix but I’ve heard of Revolt.

Matrix any good?

Revolt tries to be a discord clone/replacement and suffer from some of the same issues. Matrix happens to have a lot of feature in common, but is focused on privacy and security at its core.

Matrix is the closest replacement, and XMPP can replicate some functionality too.

Revolt is the only feature-rich swap in option.

There isn’t a full alternative, but if you just want text chat with some voice chat added on there are options like Matrix.
