On a fresh Windows install, occurs if Hindi language pack installed (In Windows language settings) Un-hinted or small fonts - see the video - happened in my case.

Tofus (blank boxes) - see the screenshot by, on a fresh Windows install, occurs in no Hindi language pack installed (In Windows language settings).Many of my rooms are actually bridged into IRC, XMPP, Slack, Discord etc rather than entirely native Matrix.There may be 3 things afai can see (ordered worst to best). ) from the room directory selector in your matrix client of choice. Nobody's yet started a big global space tree to help find them (probably because subspace performance needs some work), so the best bet for discovering them otherwise is probably simply through DDG or Google or whatever, looking for folks advertising them on their websites.Īlternatively, you can head off into IRC or some other Matrix server (e.g. Obviously this selection is biased a bit towards open source software, given that's what I'm into, but there are loads of other communities too. This ends up being way higher signal-to-noise than the room list (although there's always the risk that a space will get forgotten and neglected). * <- rooms about the Budgie desktop environmentĮtc etc. * <- a random solarpunk community i lurk in. In terms of where to hang out and where to use it, here are some handy spaces picked from my personal space bar. There'd then be social pressure to curate the best space index, rather than it being a tragedy of the commons of random lost forgotten rooms. curated hierarchies of groups of rooms, so that folks who like curating lists of interesting rooms can go and do so - rather than them all being dumped in a huge mess in a linear list. The public room list is generally considered a bad idea, and we're seriously considering deprecating it in favour of space hierarchies - i.e.

Just don't try to use it too much, or look at the code. Rocket Chat always looked great on paper. Is it better now? Well, I bet it has more half baked features, like Matrix integration I guess. I used to joke to my friends 'what new bugs will this release have?' until the mobile app rewrite became so unbearable that it almost killed my community entirely. Now, I stopped using it in 2019 but had used it for the prior four years every single day and it only got worse with every release. I then spent several months writing a bespoke application to extract my community from RocketChat and move it to a different product because it was so terrible. I have so many stories of pain from Rocket Chat that it isn't funny. I had to write a program to manually remediate the data in order to get our chat back online.ĭon't get me started on the mobile app. I'll never forget that time one of my users on my small Rocket Chat server two or three years ago changed their username and it not only immediately crashed the server but also corrupted the database because the change had to check every message ever sent for that user in the database because they didn't put an index on an immutable ID. LMAO 'battle-tested' that's one way to describe that Meteor.js pile of junk. I would have loved to use one of the alternative server implementations, but none of them supported both E2EE and SSO. It used an order of magnitude more resources than any other service in my entire infrastructure _at idle_ with no users and no federation. Synapse, by the way, is a real resource hog. Want to turn off federation _and_ make E2EE obligatory? Good luck! Even if you manage to get Synapse configured to work that way, you'll be delighted to discover that retention rules don't apply to encrypted events. Try to turn federation off, and you're in a no-man's land of untested and unpredictable behaviors. Having attempted to do exactly this recently, let me assure you that while it may be technically possible, it is practically infeasible.Īlmost everything in Matrix, at multiple layer of abstraction, is built on the presumption of federation: federated events, federated authn/authz, etc. If it's for something like company slack-like functionality you can choose to federate or not federate. It's totally possible to self host the official matrix 'synapse' daemon for self hosted slack-like functionality within an organization, and use the official 'element' client or any other compliant matrix protocol client.
