  1. Got an account on a test Matrix server
    Installed Element X

    Just tot give it a try, setup was easy the bridge to Signal works.

    Encryption is default for normal chats
    Until now all works fine and it is easy, even for non IT people

    So. What is stopping you to create a backup medium in case of....

  3. The #Matrix client #ElementX Android app stopped working on a local network (same as server) some time ago in the past month or so. Nothing is visibly broken until eventually the "Offline" header appears at the top. Disconnecting from Wifi and using mobile network then suddenly works.

    The classic #Element app works fine, so it's not my network setup / setting that's broken.

    I could not find anything in DNS logs, server logs, tcpdump on the server, nor adb logs on the device.

    Not in the mood

  5. Okay, I have a question that I'd been putting off for literal years.

    For most of my life I have exclusively been using #degoogled #Android variants (#LineageOS and #crDroid).

    At some point ages ago, Google broke notifications for Android phones without Google Play services. Or something, I'm not sure.

    Back then, I just ignored the issue. I remember reading at the time that supposedly you could fix it somehow by hosting your own notification server or whatever, but then this sounded way too complicated and sketchy to me, so I decided to just wait to see if the community comes out with an easy fix.

    But now it's 2026 and only a select few of my apps actually send notifications: the standard calendar, Tutamail, KDE Connect and some weather apps. Most other apps, including ones I really want notifications for, don't get through: #ElementX, my bank's app, #Moshidon and so many others.

    It's getting on my nerves!

    Can anyone give me a pointer as to how all this works these days? I missed out on this entire topic and now it looks daunting.

  7. Alguém por aqui utiliza as salas do Element X?
    Que eu tenha visto, não há salas em português.

  9. Boah. Ich hab am Wochenende meinen #Matrix Server komplett zerschossen... Kennt sich jemand damit aus? Würde gern versuchen die alten Daten wieder herzustellen. #Synapse #BackUp #Kaputtgefixt #ElementX

  10. Pues hice cuenta en element x y en su app matrix.org porque se está abriendo cuentas gente que conozco. Es la primera vez que oigo sobre esto. Si alguien tiene cuenta allí podría compartir como le va? #matrix #elementx

    Kann man in Gruppen irgendwie einen #Bot einfügen der automatisiert um bestimmten Uhrzeiten an bestimmten Tagen Nachrichten versendet?
    Kann man überhaupt einen Bot einfügen?
    #matrixorg #MatrixMessenger #Element #ElementX #Cinny #Nheko #fluffyChat #schildichat

  13. Erster Eindruck bisher: #ElementX rendert die Nachrichten deutlich sauberer und schicker als #ElementClassic.

    Feature-mäßig scheint aber noch einiges zu fehlen, z.B. scheint man nicht mehr zur ersten ungelesenen Nachricht springen zu können?

    Die Text-Suchfunktion scheint auch nicht mehr existent zu sein?

    Mal ganz davon abgesehen, dass die Einstellmöglichkeiten mehr als spärlich sind.

  15. Ich finde #Signalmessenger bzw. @mollyim so viel besser als #threema libre
    Ich habe beim Osterevent einen code erhalten und dachte jetzt habe ich die Chance den Familienchat zu Threema zu verlagern, aber die UI gefällt mir nicht so und das komischte ist, warum ist das Kamera Icon so weit weg? Ich mache doch eher ein Foto mit der Kamera als eine Umfrage zu starten, ein Kontakt zu versenden oder meinem Standort zu teilen. Vielleicht gewöhnungssache, aber da gefällt mir #ElementX besser.

  16. @kaschmir #whatsapp ist die Heilige Kuh in allen Freundeskreisen und der ultimative Endgegner. Hab den Schritt zu #elementx dennoch gemacht und laufe eine Zeitlang parallel. Eventuell werde ich dann selbst eine Instanz hosten. #signal wäre auch OK, aber in den #usa gehostef und damit vielleicht bald außer Kontrolle.

  19. Jonge meiden kwetsbaar in 'meidenhuizen' op WhatsApp: 'Iedereen kan meekijken' | Tech | NU.nl
    nu.nl/tech/6387954/jonge-meide

    Vanaf de opkomst van zowel social media als beveiligde communicatie (zoals WhatsApp) heb ik beide vormen altijd heel gescheiden gehouden. Vooral om ook voor mezelf duidelijk te houden wat openbaar is en wat niet.

    Het vermengen wat WhatsApp doet is vragen om 'ongelukken'.

    Wat dit betreft zijn er veiliger alternatieven.

  21. I don't know why the newer version of Element on Android is called as Element X. Perhaps it is intentional to have the session on setting call it as "Element X Android", like some sort of crossover from both Element and Android.

    (This post is a joke. I state this here in case the joke flew over anyone's head.)

  23. I noticed something. My Element X app stopped giving notification and showing error message again. After closer inspection, "manage app if unused" is being toggled on and it is the reason.

    Previously, I had to tick "unoptimized" in app battery usage setting. Apparently, it was not enough.

  25. Moin Fediverse 🖖
    Hab aktuell Probleme mit meiner von zu . Mein Matrix-Server ist auf .social und seit heute Morgen werden meine Nachrichten aus Signal nicht mehr in den Matrix Clients angezeigt, die Antworten allerdings schon. Sowohl als auch sind betroffen. Ist da aktuell etwas bekannt? Die Bridge wurde schon gelöscht und neu eingerichtet, keine Verbesserung.

  26. Que interessante, Whastapp já toda a gente sabe que é 🤮, para quem preza privacidade há o Signal, é do mais seguro que existe, mas temos a alternativa europeia, não tão segura como o Signal, mas muito melhor que o Whatsapp, descentralizada como o Mastodon e que a NATO estava a testar para comunicações entre o pessoal que não sejam tratadas com o nível confidencial, através do protocolo que serve de base ao Element X, o Matrix.

  28. What the heck is wrong with :matrix: ? We're looking for a platform for communication during a larger measurement campaign and from the featureset concluded with either or Matrix (subgroups, archivable, mobile/desktop/web clients, etc.).

    But the app and app just won't even list the rooms in our space (on matrix.org, maybe that's the problem...), they just load forever. No problem in element web or . What. the. heck.

  30. I really like Element X. It is clean, straightforward and simply works. Wish I could convince more people to use it - hopefully the adoption will increase in coming years. Signal is “okay”, but Element X feels truly sovereign - and European. Curious? Take a look here: element.io/en

  32. Soviel zum Thema #Matrix ist besser! Ja es ist besser beim einsammeln von Daten! Nur #Threema speichert keine #Metadaten und auch keine IP-Adressen. #Element #ElementX #Amdocs #Datenschutz #Privatsphäre

  33. 5 fundierte Gründe, warum man einen großen Bogen um #Matrix bzw. #Element machen muss: www.heise.de/forum/heise-... #Element gibt sogar offen zu, dass sie MetaDaten sammeln "...but we might profile metadata..." element.io/de/legal/pri... #ElementX

  34. Does anyone have any experience with #ElementX and/or #SimpleX as viable alternatives for WhatsApp/Messenger/Signal? Are they any good, particularly for group chats and video calls?

  36. More from #snikket / #xmpp exploration

    Just had an audio and video call working with a family member, which is more than I ever managed with #matrix / #elementx

    The final piece of the puzzle is integrating #slidge so that I can keep in contact with the rest of the family from one app, and then it's decommissioning time...
