@ChevyRay @zeh Oh, your https://t.co/FJ4B1p6Fpd screenshot threw me off. I didn't expect the iOS version to be different and allow you to continue in your web browser. I've created an issue for this https://t.co/GSeXpIzN18

Mobile web support in Element is experimental, https://t.co/eVUpR6TWQX

@ChevyRay @zeh ^ Your screenshots illustrate the point well on how bad this experience is though.

Other weirdness in the screenshots, Element does narrow window sizes poorly, https://t.co/DHdrIlg1r2

What platform are you on? I can't reproduce the text-overflows even with a narrow window size

@ChevyRay @zeh Element employee here 👋

This is good feedback! I found an issue around improving the spaces landing page, https://t.co/vwUUhrzpSG

The first "Join" button is to join the wgpu Space (like a community) which holds all of the rooms to chat in that you also have to "Join".

@s5bug @kubukoz Thanks for the follow-up and info!

I don't run my own homeserver to know the things to tune down besides disabling presence.

There is a "Ratelimiting settings for incoming federation" section of the homeserver.yaml file that might be interesting, https://t.co/DzJqPnOfpa

@s5bug @kubukoz @s5bug I'm curious what situation made you think about low priority that way? What led you to that conclusion?

Changing a room to "Low priority" in Element is just a way to organize rooms in the left-menu and doesn't change the sync behavior.

@kubukoz @pagoda_5b @SalarRahmanian Check out the "How do I change my notification settings?" FAQ on https://t.co/A4xU3G6bkv

You can adjust the notification default settings under your name at the top of the left-menu -> Notification settings

In other messaging news: Congrats to @matrixdotorg for adding Matrix protocol support to @gitchat ! They recently acquired Gitter from GitLab and I'm impressed the integration already shipped.

[The Matrix.org Foundation @matrixdotorg]

IT'S OFFICIAL: @gitchat now natively speaks Matrix!! Read all about what it takes to add native Matrix support to a large existing chat app, and bask in the glow of a world where FOSS chat is increasingly FOSS, open & interoperable once more :D 🎉🥳🍾🌉🚀 https://t.co/iVqAoPWg1T

[Element @element_hq]

We're super excited to welcome the @gitchat team & community to the @element_hq & @matrixdotorg family! 🚀🎉♥️

Gitter is home to thousands of FOSS projects, and we're going to bring them natively into Matrix, while keeping Gitter going strong! 🙂

[The Matrix.org Foundation @matrixdotorg]

BIG NEWS: Huge welcome to @gitchat, who are entering Matrix!! Gitter is moving from @gitlab to @element_hq & building the ultimate Matrix bridge, showcasing how a large chat app can natively talk Matrix, while bringing Gitter goodness to Element! 🚀🌉🎉 https://t.co/c8yfcGASSC

[Gitter @gitchat]

Exciting news: Gitter is joining @element_hq and entering the @matrixdotorg community! 🚀

Looking forward to bridging with the wider decentralised Matrix network & bringing Matrix magic to Gitter like E2EE, VoIP, and the Matrix API!

@vinny2020 Gitter dev here 👋

I think it heavily depends on the community. Some rooms are better about encouraging good questions and being active enough to get the necessary info to answer properly.

Common problem: don't ask to ask, just ask, https://t.co/N3TTBpoKAE
