New users; are any of you migrating to matrix/element too? Which rooms?
I'm down for more chat rooms, especially the alive and kicking rooms.
Which rooms y'all in, and roughly how busy are they?

Not really. I'm more of a XMPP user. And I think Lemmy could have a separate field for XMPP also instead of only having one for Matrix. XMPP's good
so... is matrix like discord, but a decentralized version of that?
Not really, it's more like Whatsapp. I don't know why people keep comparing it to Discord.
In Element (an app that uses Matrix protocol) you can basically organize yourself as in Discord. Rooms/Servers with subchannels that you can invite people to and distribute admin/mod rights.
How do you do that? I have Element but all the chats I've joined are organised as single channels.
I guess it is up to the person creating the channel. There are "Spaces" and "Rooms". Spaces are the equivalent of discord "servers". But rooms can also be created outside of a space, making them similar to a group in Telegram/WhatsApp.
I'm in LibreMemes, a place for r/linuxmemes refugees where any tech memes are welcome. https://matrix.to/#/#librememes:nitro.chat
Is it possible to subscribe to a Matrix room from Lemmy without having to have an account on a Matrix instance?
no, that's not possible. Matrix uses it's own protocol.
Sadly no. Matrix is not a part of the fediverse.
