Pardon my ignorance, what is a "matrix space"? Searching online I only find stuff about linear algebra and I don't know how many gay numbers can be found in vectors

my bad. It's a federated texting app kinda like discord (unlike lemmy, it's not based on ActivityPub, so not technically part of the so-called 'fediverse'). Anyways, most people are more familiar with the most popular client used to access matrix, which is Element. Maybe I should've opened with that idk haha.

Anyways, it doesn't have to be on Matrix/element, just hoping there's something that isn't a shitty app. I need more queer online friends lol.

But does matrix have the discord feature where it plays the notification sound and then shows 87 notifications from 12 different servers with no decernable way to tell which one made the sound?

Not yet found another chat app that has that feature.

luckily element (the client i use) tends to be pretty good about actually having intuitive notification showcasing. Although tbf im only in like 6 rooms/spaces total so idk.

Oh my fucking god. I thought I was the only one. I was not born in this morning. Nor this century. Nor this millennium, but I am not too ancient to track down a notification.

Unless it’s from Discord.

Oh, one Discord feature I really like is how it doesn't have the ability to mass mute servers so that you're not pinged awake at 3am by someone tagging @everyone. You can either turn off notifications for everything, or go through servers one by one.

/s

I love how the in app pop up notifications cover the settings button preventing me from turning off the in app notification pop ups! 🤩

Can't you open up the inbox and the mentions tab or the notification part in the app and see what came last?

Yes, but idk how to do that on desktop and it's also annoying finding out on channels where you have notifications for all messages.

It's near the top right corner on desktop, the little inbox next to the question mark help button. I suppose the last part makes sense though.

Yes, but it sorts in chronological order so the notifications are all old. It doesn't even load the whole list at once you can't even scroll to the end to see the current notifications.

The mentions tab in there is newest first I believe. The other tabs do seem more useless to be fair because it's like you said.

I read in the latest matrix.org blog post that mastodon<>matrix bridging is coming so while not properly part of the fediverse, it is still going to be connected to it soon :3
