    are you using the spaces feature in element? that’s the same thing as discord “servers”. they are on the left, unless you have none yet.

    I wrote my comment when testing with Element X. You only get one room list, and it commingles chats from spaces with chats you made yourself.

    You have to go to a separate screen to see the spaces themselves. On this screen, I clicked on a group I was in, and it took six seconds to tell me there were four available chats.

    You can also disable showing name change and membership change events if you don’t care, but membership is good to be aware of and shouldn’t be a problem with element x

    Even if you disable viewing the events, they’re still loaded in the background. I like to disable them, but then you see a lot more nothing and you may not be sure why the screen is empty for a longer while.

    Joining a space requires you to manually join every single room in that space, which is bound to cause even more events in low traffic rooms…

    Basically, Matrix isn’t fast, it doesn’t look like it’s gonna get fast anytime soon, and it is definitely not a Discord replacement.
