Ive been using it for many years now and i understand it can be confusing at times. Do you have any specific questions that i might be able to answer? I have onboarded dozens of people at this point and somehow we always figured it out.

So I guess my problem is that I'm used to Discord's paradigm. You have servers and in the servers you have chat rooms, video conference rooms, and DMs. it pretty much reflects what's on IRC.

When it comes to Matrix, I have trouble making the parallel. Maybe because of the terminology?

I was wondering if you could help me out in that regard. Knowing that I'm familiar with IRC and Discord, can you explain to me the different terminology in Matrix and how it works?

FYI: Commet really is easier to navigate than Element.

It's almost identical on Matrix, although many clients make it hard to distinguish things. For example, Fluffy Chat (and the "official" Element too, I think?) show both Servers AND their Rooms on your "all chats list", making finding things confusing.

Check out Commet, it structures things exactly like Discord, so you'll clearly see what's a server, what's a room on that server, etc.
