I’ve just set up a matrix homeserver after the one I was using ran into a few issues. I’m looking forward to setting up some bridges and bringing a few chats into one place, but I also know there’s so much you can do in the way of extensibility and integrations. I’ve had a read around but would love to hear from anyone who’s using matrix for anything neat and nifty!
i’m using it for some months now mainly for consolidating messengers. i did not federate with any other matrix server yet. i run whattsapp, telegram and signal. they mostly work without any problems and are reliable (yet).
so depending on your usecase, setup some bridges! checkout mautrix https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/
