Pardon my ignorance, what is a "matrix space"? Searching online I only find stuff about linear algebra and I don't know how many gay numbers can be found in vectors

[–] [email protected] 37 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

my bad. It's a federated texting app kinda like discord (unlike lemmy, it's not based on ActivityPub, so not technically part of the so-called 'fediverse'). Anyways, most people are more familiar with the most popular client used to access matrix, which is Element. Maybe I should've opened with that idk haha.

Anyways, it doesn't have to be on Matrix/element, just hoping there's something that isn't a shitty app. I need more queer online friends lol.

But does matrix have the discord feature where it plays the notification sound and then shows 87 notifications from 12 different servers with no decernable way to tell which one made the sound?

Not yet found another chat app that has that feature.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago

luckily element (the client i use) tends to be pretty good about actually having intuitive notification showcasing. Although tbf im only in like 6 rooms/spaces total so idk.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

Oh my fucking god. I thought I was the only one. I was not born in this morning. Nor this century. Nor this millennium, but I am not too ancient to track down a notification.

Unless it’s from Discord.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Oh, one Discord feature I really like is how it doesn't have the ability to mass mute servers so that you're not pinged awake at 3am by someone tagging @everyone. You can either turn off notifications for everything, or go through servers one by one.

/s

I love how the in app pop up notifications cover the settings button preventing me from turning off the in app notification pop ups! 🤩

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Can't you open up the inbox and the mentions tab or the notification part in the app and see what came last?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but idk how to do that on desktop and it's also annoying finding out on channels where you have notifications for all messages.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's near the top right corner on desktop, the little inbox next to the question mark help button. I suppose the last part makes sense though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but it sorts in chronological order so the notifications are all old. It doesn't even load the whole list at once you can't even scroll to the end to see the current notifications.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

The mentions tab in there is newest first I believe. The other tabs do seem more useless to be fair because it's like you said.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I read in the latest matrix.org blog post that mastodon<>matrix bridging is coming so while not properly part of the fediverse, it is still going to be connected to it soon :3

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

wow that's actually pretty cool though ngl

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

are you in the unoffcial 196 matrix space yet? https://matrix.to/#/#196-blahaj:catgirl.cloud

its cozy, community with some active users mrow

btw, do you know about xmpp yet? its like matrix but cooler~ but also its kind of a bit deserted ;w; maybe i should create a queer community there..

heyy, i created a queer xmpp community :33 xmpp:[email protected]?join

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm on 196, although it's not very active ;v; haven't heard of xmpp, but I'd be willing to give it a try! how does it work? what's the difference between it and matrix?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

its a different protocol. the user experienc eis similar to matrix but less polished. its a lot better with meta data and provacy tho, and more performant and less intense on servers, which i like

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

that's interesting, I'll have to check it out

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm trying to create an account on matrix.catgirl.cloud, but they require to fill a form and the form's page isn't working ;--;

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

you dont need to get the account at catgirl.cloud. any other matrix server should work as well. i got my account at cat.casa

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I know. I just haven't found a server to create an account at yet. I'll look into this one gou mentioned. Thank you! ^w^

Just checking in to say: Cute dress!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

thanks hehe

[–] AlligatorBlizzard 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

OP, go hang up that pile of clean clothing that's just out of shot.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago (1 children)

tbh idk what you mean. The stuff by my dresser? that's where it already belongs. Or do you mean my bed? there's no laundry on it haha

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think they’re projecting :p

[–] AlligatorBlizzard 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That, plus the wrinkled dress implies OP does the same thing, lol.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

No one* likes ironing. Us life pros buy stuff that doesn't need ironing

Though even that has to be hung out moments after it finishes washing; how do people deal with that where driers are normal?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

where all them furry comp sci majors at

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

not a furry, but i am gay, transfem, and compsci major/computer nerd

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm probably the only person here who isn't one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

i swear half the people in this community say this and think they're in the minority

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

#matrixunited-space:matrix.org has a specific room, but all the rooms are chill, or they'd get kicked out

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I've been meaning to check out matrix, so thanks for making this post, maybe it'll push me to do it finally.

Also, I love your dress, it's got such a cute pattern and fit (and speaking of fit, masterful camera work/posing — I can never figure out how to do a flattering shot when taking full body pictures, but this is great)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

thanks! if you want, you can dm me and I'll help you set up an account!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What's a good Matrix client on Android?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

element! it's on pretty much all platforms, Windows, Linux, web browser, ios and Android, etc

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Okay, thanks. I've logged in. Not sure what to do now lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago
