in reply to The Matrix.org Foundation • • •Do you have a roadmap of some sorts? As a casual user, it's a bit difficult to understand where the project is headed 🤔
Personally I'm looking for a replacement for my Discord-group that we can self-host, that also allows us to connect to a broader community. Matrix seems to align ideologically to what I want, but Element feels a bit cluttered and unintuitive tbh.

in reply to The Matrix.org Foundation • • •I mean, I open up Cinny and it's more or less the same as Element, as far as I can tell at least.
Are we able to have Spaces with Rooms, where certain Rooms only act as VOIP-rooms that you can join/leave as you wish? I see a button up right in Element that allows you to start a video-call inside of a room, but I can't seem to use that unless I've got permission. Does that call everybody in the room somehow, or?
