Discord isn’t exactly known for generous file-sharing limits, still, the messaging app offered a 25MB limit to free users. The company has now updated its support page to reflect the upload limit for free users has been lowered to 10MB.

Matrix is a laggy dumpsterfire. Messages take longer to send in Matrix than they do in Lemmy, and Lemmy isn't even supposed to be a real-time chat app.

Try Element X if you have a mobile. It's rebuilt on the new sdk and offers a new architecture that has messages come in way faster than on Element (original)

Homeserver issue most likely.

Did you blindly sign up for matrix.org?

[–] Starbuncle@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

The first time yeah, but I tried it again on another instance and it was better (at least it didn't fail to load half the time), but still super slow. The 2nd time is what I was talking about.

What is the best instance with the largest user base?

Edit: and ...yes I did

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't know. Why do you want a large user base?

Guessing at one reason:

It feels good to know that you’re not signing up for someone’s instance that they’re just trying out admining for the first time and maybe if they’re too busy to do the proper updates next weekend they’ll just close shop.

(And by shop I mean fantastic free volunteering effort of course!)

Matrix.im maybe? I wouldn't know.

Yeah, pick literally any other instance. I went with Mozilla's, but there are plenty of alternatives. Or host your own!

My homeserver is a one-person Conduit installation, and slowness is not something I have encountered. However, in groupchats that happened to be encrypted there were moments when my messages failed to decrypt for others. That might've been due to my own carelessness with the VPS though.
