Yeah, it really is. I feel like if I have trouble getting it to work, my friends have no hope.
... I mean, I did get it to work but the struggle was real.
Best I've done is try to minimize the hassle by hosting myself, and giving a how-to guide. My group is small, I've been sitting down individually with them showing them how to migrate
I appreciate your efforts and good on you for doing this but I don't have time to do that with hundreds of people.
It's just not ready for production yet.
I actually just went and checked to see if I had any messages and element x was complaining that I didn't have a separate app that I needed to use to get push notifications which one would think element x would do on its own but it does not.
Once I installed it apparently there's some extra shit that I've got to do to make that work too and it's just stuff like that that's just user hostile and not good.
I do like element and I love the idea of it but it's just not compatible with most humans, apparently even myself, though I'd thought I had it all ironed out.
