I can set it up . This idea popped into my head after i joined some good foss telegram channels and i personnely think matrix is not there yet also telegram does supports third party apps there are some privacy concerns but i don’t think it matters to our use case and it is all speculation but matrix instance hoster could be violating this too as most groups are not encrypted . I also do think telegram is just a better experience and more polished to use but i would advise you to download a third party app from fdroid instead of using the official client . So anyways lemmy know.

PS : I am in no way a telegram shill just thinks it is a good platform for this use case as mercurygram, fossify,telegram foss etc. hosts theirs there and it is really a good overall experience . Again not a SHILL.

EDIT : This was just an idea i had and if you disagree please comment so and i will not move forward ciao

EDIT : This was a for the community idea but if most of the community doesn’t want it i will ofcourse not go forward but do write your thoughts in the comments as i don’t know what you think by seeing the upvotes or downvotes (as some people do it accidentally by swiping or because they did’nt like something specific in the post which can be changed of you comment) and if there is anything i can do to make the experience better .

EDIT : Its all about options i am not proposing to move the community from matrix but just starting another one.

    I’m not sure what there would be to talk about?

    My instance has a matrix space for account support and enabling the admin and users to communicate even if the instance is down, but that’s about all it’s used for.

    Other conversation occurs right here on Lemmy itself.

      I was thinking it could be used as a general purpose one between users, mods, admins and devs

        …

        So like Lemmy itself? Or more specifically this very community.

          Nah everything it is just a concept at this point and probably will not come to fruition because of the communities response but if it does we as a community can work out the kinks .
