Element is launching the world’s first communications platform based on the upcoming Matrix 2.0 release. The result is blazing performance which outperforms the mainstream alternatives - across a decentralised system that enables self-hosting and end-to-end encryption - as well as open standard interoperability to revolutionise real time communication between large organisations.

Built on Matrix 2.0, Element X now rivals the performance of centralised consumer messaging apps, empowering organisations to address the shadow IT issues caused by consumer-grade messaging apps in the workplace.

The new Element communications solution consists:

Element X, our next-gen app with an array of new features

Element Call fully integrated into Element X, for native Matrix-encrypted voice and video

Element Server Suite, our backend hosting solution for powerful admin control and Matrix 2.0 performance

Native OIDC support...something I wish more self hosted apps would prioritize. I shouldn't need to maintain a bunch of user account systems on my own servers.

Does Element X run directly on X now, without electron?

[–] Flipper@feddit.org 1 points 21 minutes ago

No. Unless you use waydroid

That release is quite out of date. See this issue

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

I had just uninstalled Element X like two weeks ago because I found it to under perform compared to the normal Element client on Android, in addition to lacking some features. I guess I'll give it another shot.

Update: WOW this thing feels lightning fast compared to just a few weeks ago. This is great. Not sure about feature completeness, but based on speed I think I'll migrate Element > Element X again. Great job to the team!

It hans't changed speedwise for me. It has been lightning fast since it's first release

[–] KLISHDFSDF@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 hours ago

that's interesting. I had found it fast initially when it was first released. I didn't use it often but when I finally stared using Matrix more often I was bouncing between both and Element X was significantly slower than normal Element so I decided to uninstall just a few weeks ago. I had even tried un/reinstalling to see if it would fix it, but it didn't. Much happier with it now.

I guess it depends on the phone, but even if you didn't notice it, it should be more efficient now with less resource usage (battery, ram)

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago

Space support and multi account support and I'll install it. Fluffychat has many features but still laggy.
