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.

Yeah and briar but sadly the use case for these apps aren't the same with apps like discord, telegram and matrix . Simplex and briar is not for hosting group or chatting with friends they are for when you can accept incoveniance but need a state of the art secure messaging software.

There are already some big groups on Simplex. I haven’t used it much, so I don’t know how well it works. But it seems easy enough to use.
