Experiences with the Matrix protocol, Matrix Synapse server, bridges, and Element mobile app. There are some you-just-have-to-know-this issues.

TL;DR:

  • Matrix Synapse: works fine, but requires constant manual maintenance.
  • Bridges: work pretty well.
  • Element: generally OK, some issues with timely notifications, no feature parity between Element Classic and Element X, terrible on-boarding (with current setup)

Yeah, that is a pretty realistic assessment, and the author should definitely try out Snikket (XMPP). There are also somewhat decent bridges for xmpp via https://slidge.im/
