I haven’t tried Element X, but I’d like to recommend SchildiChat as a good matrix client for desktop and mobile. My understanding is it’s a fork of element, but it works much better and more reliably in my experience. Element was very inconsistent about fetching messages for example.
mobile
meaning Android, no iOS
From their own FAQ:
Will there be an iOS version?
No.
…what is “matrix” in this context?
Discord/IRC alternative
Ah, cool. Thanks!
Replace, as in the same devs are making a change?
Yes, they are total rewrites of the original clients. They utilize a new, experimental syncing technique that is significantly faster than the original one.
That’s pretty cool :)
Yes, Element team itself Element X
Just curious, if I already don’t pay for discord and use BetterDiscord is there a point in switching to matrix? (not that most people I talk to will switch anyways)
