Posting this in case it helps someone else:To move your #Matrix account from one instance to another without losing your current chat history do as follows:0.5) Create a backup phrase1) Use the Element desktop client with your existing account to in Settings - Encryption - Export your keys.2) Create your new user account and use the Element desktop app to import the keys you just exported.3) With your old account, invite the new account to all rooms you're in (including 1on1 chats). Make sure the room setting is correct for "Newly joined users can see history".4) With your new account, accept all invites.5) With your old account, leave all rooms.Done.

I've been exploring linux stuff today and setting up irc before I start editting on shorts again, and I just found out thunderbird supports chatting via irc, xmpp (Jabber), and freaking matrix... I need to know who's using thunderbird to chat on matrix servers lol.#matrix #thunderbird

@craftyguy have you found 2 to be true when using exclusively your own server? And is it an issue with multiple clients, or just ElementX?Idly wondering if I should try Fluffychat again after dealing with delayed notifications every few weeks on my de-Googled Android
@maklem @ErikJonker We didn't include universities in the map, but we're delighted at how popular Element and Matrix has been across universities.This might be out of date, but it gives an idea: https://doc.matrix.tu-dresden.de/en/why/?ref=element.ioIf anyone wants to put a 'Matrix universities map' together, we'd be happy to help!
It looks as though #Session, a secure #communications #app, is on its last legs due to lack of funding, as it’s expected to shut down by early July. Non-US alternatives include #Threema, #Matrix, #Olvid, and #Jami. #techhttps://getsession.org/donate

@subpop I use Matrix primarily as an information repository. Spaces are broad categories - Film, Games, Technical. Within each space a room is the subject. In a room a comment becomes a specific topic with the actual content in threads.Example : Space: Tech Room: Proxmox Room: Netbird Room: Docker Topic: ### import/export image ### Thread reply: All notes and comments related to that topic
