doesn’t necessarily have to be matrix, but something cool and avoiding enshittified platforms is ideal

    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.

        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.

        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.

        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

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

          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.

            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.
