One thing I initially found confusing with @element / @matrix: How one would share and join a channel. The way you get bounced between instances for that. And in a way for @Mastodon, too.

People describe these services as "just like email". But I think the one thing that is missing for that would be a proper #URI scheme and integration in browsers for things you can join or follow in these federated networks. Email has its established "mailto:foo@example.com" for instance.

oh yaiy, awesome, exactly! Didn't know that existed already and that seems to make a lot of sense. So I guess the URI scheme is supposed to replace the matrix.to/ scheme eventually, once enough browsers/applications support it?
