I fully agree with you and I’m not saying this in their defence but Element is not owned by Matrix either right? It’s owned by another (for-profit?) party and in fact Matrix (Foundation) doesn’t maintain any clients whatsoever.

I guess it has something to do with “client neutrality” and the protocol not being defined by / tied to a “reference implementation” which I can get behind, but it’s hurting users in the end as you said.

Hopefully things should get a whole lot more stable with Matrix 2.0 and which may incentivise people to put in more effort into writing better and more polished clients.

I see, thank you!

Are there any iOS apps?

Neat! Is this like Hacker News but federated?

Yeah it is!

Interesting, not sure why. Try the following:

I think you’re referring to ForgeFed.

I don’t have a straight answer but the work is still in progress just fine, as far as I can tell. Here are some pointers if you want to dig deeper:

• [FEAT] implement federation (codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo#59)
• The monthly reports
• Issues and pull requests tagged with forgejo/federation

I feel very similar with regard to blockchains, however I didn’t want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I think (or rather hope) that there are some cryptocurrencies/blockchains that are actually useful/interesting to discuss. Certainly agreeing with you though.

Why not, go for it! Just be careful about copyright infringement as it's against lemmy.world ToS.

Consider it at least federated? :)

I've an account on dbzer0 too and often lurk there as well, however I wasn't sure about its longevity given the amount of piracy-related activity going on there.

Syncthing?

There is also Borg but I think it doesn’t have the features you’re looking for such as incremental backups and two-way sync etc.

What’s wrong with GitLab?
