I use spaces to organize different bridged services, Whatsapp, Instagram, Telegram, Signal and Matrix itself.
As a subset of rooms to organize a team, I think it would make more sense to host a separate matrix instance.
But it can be nice to give access to a set of rooms in a public community akin to:
- General
- Dev Product A
- Dev Product B
- Watercooler
- Sysad
- nerdponx 5y agoI do this with spaces too. But it occurred to me that I'm essentially abusing spaces to act like client-side folders/groupings of rooms. Can you create a space that's only for "personal" use, if you are not an admin of your home server? Spaces are a great feature, but I think clients will start needing to add grouping/tagging somehow, in addition.

- red_trumpet 5y agoTo elaborate, Element even explicitly asks if you want to do that (even if I understand it correctly, it's the same as a private space without other members)
- kevincox 5y agoSpaces are a superset of tagging. Just create a space (tag) and the rooms that you want to tag to it. If you want it to be just for you keep the space invite-only, if you want to share your "tag" you can.
