Experiences with the Matrix protocol, Matrix Synapse server, bridges, and Element mobile app. There are some you-just-have-to-know-this issues.

TL;DR:

  • Matrix Synapse: works fine, but requires constant manual maintenance.
  • Bridges: work pretty well.
  • Element: generally OK, some issues with timely notifications, no feature parity between Element Classic and Element X, terrible on-boarding (with current setup)

Ah, makes perfect sense, I don't use the federation and I've got all media on a NAS with 24TB of space, so I've not really been concerned with space usage... I might want to do some house keeping at some point though.

Glad I hadn't missed any major.

Thanks for the reply.
