i've used riot.im, it works okay but it seems like the matrix.org homeserver has been incredibly laggy in past days. If you consider it, i'd maybe look at a different homeserver

Definitely. matrix ecosystem is cool, but I wouldn't use the matrix.org server. Not only did they have a huge privacy leak/hack in the last year, they are also hosted in the UK, which is one of the worst countries possible for data privacy/government surveillance. Even worse than USA tbf

yeah I'm actually looking into self hosting cause I mainly just use it for friends but I may want to join large public rooms soon idk

I believe the large rooms allow different homeservers to connect.its a setting u have to manually enable to prohibit that.

You could also have two accounts,1for matrix.org and one for your own server.
