if anyone like me was wondering

So, we've decided on "umu" as the rename for ULWGL.

umu "oo-moo" -- A chamber used for baking or heating.

It fits the theme of pressure-vessel, steam, etc, and it's short, easy to say in a conversation, (and jokingly uwu).

Plain Matrix rooms are a bit too foreign to Discord users i’d say.

There’s another alternative being built which resembles Discord a lot more, is federated and as i understand is built around Matrix communities: https://github.com/commune-os/commune-server

Here’s a demo instance: https://shpong.com/

Firefox in general is faster for me than Chrome in many pages

However a notable exception are web games and web based game emulators. They’re a lot slower on Firefox and i get horrible sound crackling whereas on Chrome its much better. It’s been like this for years with no seeming improvement.

For now your best bet is to do the community search in the section at the top of the web ui. for example, choose “All” in the filter and search for “gaming” and it will find all gaming communities on all the intances.
