Throughout my time using Lemmy, I have learned about the populations of a bunch of different instances and have made accounts on several different ones based on what I find. However, I’m about to make a Matrix account and this is a whole new ball game. Which server should I choose/avoid making my account on? Does it really matter as much as it does on Lemmy?

I haven't used a Matrix server since my short, but regrettable, stint as Lord President of Gallifrey.

I use my own. The group I GM for wanted off Discord for privacy reasons, so I spun up my own server.

Just matrix.org, like some kind of pleb.

I only have an account so I could join in one room, and that's the server that the room was on, so I decided to keep things simple.

This is the exact problem with the Fediverse. The first thing you need to do is make a decision for which the consequences are unknown. It's overwhelming and off-putting.

Irc still. No matrix so far.

[–] sbf@feddit.org 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Why's that? Simplicity and low overhead? Or is it an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" situation?

[–] solrize@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Irc works fine, people I know are there, and matrix has always seemed too attention -seeky for my tastes.

[–] sbf@feddit.org 3 points 10 hours ago

Hm. Elaborate on that. I’m trying to learn more about the space.

I set up my own because I don't want to be dependent on someone else.

Normally matrix servers don't block each other they let their users do it instead.
