Pardon my ignorance, what is a "matrix space"? Searching online I only find stuff about linear algebra and I don't know how many gay numbers can be found in vectors

- 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.

  I read in the latest matrix.org blog post that mastodon<>matrix bridging is coming so while not properly part of the fediverse, it is still going to be connected to it soon :3

are you in the unoffcial 196 matrix space yet? https://matrix.to/#/#196-blahaj:catgirl.cloud

its cozy, community with some active users mrow

btw, do you know about xmpp yet? its like matrix but cooler~ but also its kind of a bit deserted ;w; maybe i should create a queer community there..

heyy, i created a queer xmpp community :33 xmpp:neonspacecafe@conference.trashserver.net?join

- I'm on 196, although it's not very active ;v; haven't heard of xmpp, but I'd be willing to give it a try! how does it work? what's the difference between it and matrix?

  its a different protocol. the user experienc eis similar to matrix but less polished. its a lot better with meta data and provacy tho, and more performant and less intense on servers, which i like

OP, go hang up that pile of clean clothing that's just out of shot.

- tbh idk what you mean. The stuff by my dresser? that's where it already belongs. Or do you mean my bed? there's no laundry on it haha

#matrixunited-space:matrix.org has a specific room, but all the rooms are chill, or they'd get kicked out

I've been meaning to check out matrix, so thanks for making this post, maybe it'll push me to do it finally.

Also, I love your dress, it's got such a cute pattern and fit (and speaking of fit, masterful camera work/posing — I can never figure out how to do a flattering shot when taking full body pictures, but this is great)

- thanks! if you want, you can dm me and I'll help you set up an account!

What's a good Matrix client on Android?

2
- element! it's on pretty much all platforms, Windows, Linux, web browser, ios and Android, etc

  Okay, thanks. I've logged in. Not sure what to do now lol.

My experience is that there are a lot of gay people without the queerness, and what i mean by that is they are traditional, and blend in. That said, you might know more gay folk than you think. I don't know any effective way of identifying them, but if you're running into a lack of online community, i suggest considering finding offline communities.
