element is slow :|
I’m using Element. I haven’t noticed it being particularly slow and I am in a lot of rooms. But I’m also not a heavy user on my phone, most of my usage is desktop.
What slowness are you noticing? Browsing the interface, sending, receiving? Something else?
syncing is slow, and sending/receiving messages, does that mean I should use another server ?
If you are on matrix.org then likely yes. It is well know for being slow. As the biggest homeserver by a good margin it really struggles in the performance department. The operations you describe are all those that need to wait on the server.
oh, do you have a suggestion for another server ?
If you want the best experience the best option is to get a dedicated server. There are various hosts that you can buy from (such as Element https://element.io/personal-plans) or you can run your own.
However it is also possible to find other public homeservers and many are free but I can’t attest to their performance as I haven’t tried them.
Really? Get your own server for the best experience?
