It doesn’t look like this at all for me. Maybe it’s an issue of mobile web client? I went to the website and logged in. I don’t see a plus like on discord to join servers or guilds so I assume there is nothing like that. I only saw the rooms I am in on matrix and it looked pretty much like the othet matrix clients I use.
Your screenshot looks way more like discord.
But so does fluxer and I found it less confusing and more immediately obvious to use compared to this.
I’ve never had a good experience, nor a discord-like experience with anything matrix-related. Tried sable just now and it looks to me exactly like any other matrix client. Nothing that I care about in discord is there.
You say it’s “feature complete” but from my POV it’s fundamentally different enough to create constant friction and frustration. Discord communities/“servers” is a very different concept than a matrix room. Maybe my grandma would mistake the two as being same, but certainly not me.
Fluxer does not have that issue, it is a real 1 to 1 discord clone and was already closer to discord a year ago than matrix is now or ever will be due to core protocol design decisions.

And if you are ok with something not open source but still selfhostable and need “jira but for developers”: there is youtrack, which you can find a docker img for somewhere (or you can use their cloud). It phones home to check the license and is free for up to 10 users. It’s very capable and feature rich.
Yeah just learn the EURKEY layout and you won’t ever have to switch it.
Very interesting talk, thanks for sharing!
Fluxer was mostly built before LLMs
