Meta-issue: Discordification of Matrix/Synapse/Dendrites (feature request)
### Description There are at least a dozen issues relating to the design of Riot being too user unfriendly, and that people are suggesting designs similar to established apps like Discord and Slack. (Please post related issues in this page for further discussion) ### Issue Types: * Better Communities (AKA Discord "servers") * Seamless E2E with better UX * Better "unread messages" with ping as primary type * Tag-based user and mod/admins types (similar to Discord) * Mumble as a default widget (instead of Jitsi as it is bad on mobile) * (others not included in the list above) --- I have been a Riot user for about one and a half years, and I would hope for these features to give people a better user experience (features recommended from friends in Discord) - [ ] Room feature support - [ ] Custom server-based and room-based emojis - Have custom server emojis downloaded and be usable as a basic feature - [ ] Emoji collection sharing - Similar to Telegram, Messenger, LINE and Whatsapp, but shareable and if possible, self-hosted or user-hosted - [x] Emoji reaction for texts and files (useful for voting) - [x] Automated (non-manual) key sharing - Some people are sick of needing to sharing key every time someone gets in the room, they would like to have auto key sharing once in an E2E room - [x] Multi-room search - [ ] Community support - [x] Community id generation - [ ] Community room mass generation - [x] Community room se
