How long is the wait now? I've had it for a bit and I know they've been ramping up their onboarding.
I signed up 6 weeks ago, still nothing
I wrote on another comment, got my invite after 500 days.
I've been waiting for almost a month now, and I've seen a few people complaining how they're in waiting list since multiple months (recent ones, i.e. after they announced lesser waiting time)
I'm not sure I really get the pull. It seems to just be a matrix server with bridges and custom clients
They do have their work open sorced which is nice, but this all kinda just looks like what matrix is on its own. I guess the only advantage I see is maybe making things a little easier for more casual folks, but it does cost to...
Thanks for explaining what it is.
It used to cost. It is now free so that helps the value proposition. There will be a Beeper Pro/Plus or some subsctiption service that will allow you to have multiple accounts/bridges on the same network, but that's not actually released yet.
Yeah if they had a way of trivially adding the bridges to any other matrix client (on android, that is), that'd make things super convenient.
Making the work easier for casual folks is all I'm in for in the case of Beeper. I mean, I could manually set everything up, but I'd rather support methods that make it easier for everyone else to access the fediverse more easily.
