This is what I still find confusing about spaces. How do I create each of these 3 different flavours? Is there a default flavour? Do I have to upgrade a personal space into a private/public space?

#3For an example of Spaces in action, the NixOS Community has a well-organized Matrix Space at #community:nixos.org

#4Super exciting. Time to start bridging Discord servers to Matrix Spaces and encouraging people to switch, one community at a time.

#5I've been using the spaces to keep all my messenger bridged rooms from cluttering the home space, its been working quite delightfully.

#6A graphic that shows the hierarchy/differences of all the possible spaces/groups/rooms would be nice. Because as I understand it these are 3 different things and there are different variants of each.

#7Neither Slack nor any of the Slack clones can figure the most simple of things: tabs.
Instead they all insist on having just one window with a 10-kilometer long list of rooms/chats/channels on the left that you have to switch between in a single window.
This becomes especially frustrating when you have several active chats going on at the same time, or when you want to retain some info on the screen while answering in a separate chat/channel.

#8This seems to built for people with a lot of rooms/people. I think it's a classic mistake to enable it for all users, and I see it in all kinds of products. Everyone starts out by building something simple, but eventually it's bloated with features that I don't need (I'm sure someone does).
Personally, I use matrix every day. However, it's only for a single room. With this new feature, I lost 70 "pixels" (or 140 actual pixels) of horizontal space.

Which you click the "Create a Space" button in the sidebar, you get a clear prompt to choose between "Public" and "Private" (and a note that you can change this later in the Space's settings).
Personal Spaces are just a special case of a Private Space where you haven't invited anyone else. It's worth calling out this use case separately, as we've otherwise seen users assume that Spaces were only for shared hierarchies, when in fact anyone can create a Space and put whatever rooms they want in it to create a personal system of organization, even if those rooms are already in other Spaces.
If you want to turn your Personal Space into a shared Private space, you can invite people via the button on the Space's summary page. If you want to open it up to the Public, that's in the settings menu accessed from the same page.

Would be cool if you could tell the bridge to automatically move all telegram chats to your designated telegram space...
