Correct, I simply had to update to latest Lemmur release.

It’s finally happening. Too bad Lemmur does not seem to find the instance yet.

I believe it’s just Eugen not willing to remove the useless limits. People very rarely go past 400 anyway, but when you really have something to say, you have to start these stupid threads like you’d do in Twitter. I wish Mastodon would just start trunkating posts at a certain character/line limit, behind a “show more” button.

What’s really ironic is that Discord’s model is such a perfect fit for a decentralized system.

But there isn’t even another centralized proprietary silo alternative. That’s how bad the situation is.

https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/7487 Here’s an issue that tracks the missing features.

However, the biggest difference is simply the fact that Discord and Element work fundamentally very differently. Element is (still) centered around making single rooms where people can choose to join. Discord on the other hand operates from a “”““server””“”" perspective where everyone joins every room by default unless access is restricted. It’s the complete opposite.

It’s like people really haven’t tried Discord, Element or neither and try to make you push a cube object through a circular hole claiming, “yes it fits just do it”. As it stands, Element is not the answer to Discord specifically and claiming otherwise is only gonna end up with disappointed new users.

Element does not provide what Discord provides and should not be advertized as a direct replacement until the community feature gets some serious work done to it.

xe8 is correct. Communities in Element are only glorified collections of rooms without any of the features that Discord provide.

In fact, there’s an issue on the Element github repo called “Discordification of Riot/Matrix” and it’s a long, long list of missing features. Element is not a proper alternative to Discord.
