I need a Matrix client that is good … Element is constantly screwing things up. Sometimes short runs of messages in chats I've been in for months suddenly just can't be decrypted. Sometimes it doesn't notify me of new messages for a week or so, on desktop or mobile, before then returning back to normal. Sometimes certain channels just have an unread badge no matter how far I scroll in the room and the threads, and sometimes the badge will stay even if I mark the room read. :blobcathissing:

Schildichat seems to it have very little issues, and considering it's touted as just a good looking fork, I'd say they took a bit of time to clean things up a bit. Available at F-Droid and runs on Linux too.

Most public rooms ar*en't encrypted, so for those I'd suggest Weechat-matrix, and integrates well. I love

FluffyChat feels incomplete wrt features but aside from missing things i expect it's pretty solid. Again, 😄👍 and, F-Droid .

I hope that helps!

@tallship @mauve sadly Schildichat seems to be quite outdated and it was removed from the repos of NixOS in December due to old EOL Electron and security issues that have been fixed in Element but not Schildichat.
FluffyChat lacks the threads feature that gets made use of in the rooms I'm in. Also none of them are public rooms, so I guess sadly I will have to continue searching. Thank you for the effort though

@alinanorakari @tallship Yeah sadly element is the most feature complete client I have found despite it being the bane of my existence. I have been meaning to make my own but my job leaves me too tired to code stuff like this 😭
