Hi,

I’m searching for an “noob-proof” matrix messenger that is supposed to replace WhatsApp.

It should have E2EE enabled by default and a backup/restore function for contacts, chats and settings (preferably local backup, but nextcloud would be fine aswell).

It would be nice if you could also mention matrix clients that work on iOS, Linux and Windows as well (if there are any), since not all of my contacts use android or are always reachable per phone.

Happy to hear your recommendations and experiences.

Thank you!

      Comments have download buttons. It is like a mini webpage within comments. Explodes my mind as a millenial who has used the internet for so long.

        idk, it’s just markdown, that’s nothing new.

          Yeah but I have not seen such comments on Reddit, Twitter, Telegram or all these platforms. Maybe it is just my old POV, but I find it fascinating.

            Well those don’t actually support embedding images, Lemmy is nice in that aspect.

            Unfortunate time to comment this. I’ve realized my error now too, not that it matters.
