Spaces: The next frontier
element.io
We’re launching Spaces— the next frontier for how to group rooms and people in Element and Matrix. Join the public beta!

Element is now getting closer and closer to be a 100% viable Discord alternative. Now, as a beta feature you can group your rooms and conversations in a public, private or personal, way, which means you can have something similar to Discord channels with various rooms for certain topics.

Even though it is only available on Element right now, it seems it might come to other Matrix clients in the future as well.

    i think the main function element has been missing this entire time, is a hotjoin voice channels (preferably with mumble). without that, it will never be possible to move anyone from discord.

    spaces is a good thing yes, better than the communities function for sure. but i don’t see why they made it a priority over voice (the primary missing feature), when they had a somewhat functional solution already in place.

      I mean, for one to be able to hotjoin voice channels it would be pretty much a necessity to group servers first. Imagine have a mix of your chat rooms and voice rooms in the same space on the “rooms” tab, specially if you group them by activity.
