Looking for a good FOSS Matrix clisnt. What’s your favourite and why?
There isn’t one.
Because none of them have all features.
My favourites however are Fractal for desktop and Fluffychat for mobile because they both allow for multiple accounts in one window/app and they look nice, and Fluffychat has features that make it more customisable.
Yeah, it’s kind of infuriating how there’s really no great clients
Or complete clients, doesn’t even need to be great but incorporating all features would be nice.
I used to use cinny, but i use fractal now just because its MUCH faster to launch
Nheko is my favourite client, it uses QT and is written in C++, its lightweight and works well on my machines with low resources, it also respects my system theme

Fluffychat on Android mobile. Feels familiar.
Slow as shit tho. I like ittho
Alps will randomly rotate photos for some reason
0 clue what this no permission issue on Spaces is
Cinny as a PWA, or Schildichat ( FOSS version )
Beeper is partially open source and I’ve used it for many years now.
@gwilikers I would use element and I do use schildi but its a bit controversial as a client so element if foss and best is criteria
Schildichat is the only client I can use on my phone that implements both spaces and threads and doesn’t have a memory leak.
@thejevans umm element leaks?
It does for me. And it has for over a year. I have to reset the cache every day or it slows to an unusable crawl. The web client works fine, though
Edit: github issue: https://github.com/element-hq/element-android/issues/6617
I like SchildiChat the most, since it has a nice UI and supports both E2EE and calls.
Cinny because its layout is very similar to Discord
