I want to migrate my friends to self-hosted Matrix server I have for some time now. The problem is, that all Android clients seem missing for me. Element is too buggy (especially for encryption) and has bad UX. Element X is still experimental and lacks core features. FluffyChat has most features and nice ones like stickers, but calls or location sharing is here as a placeholder but not really working.
If you migrated someone to Matrix, what client did you found out to “be working” for people not caring about protocol? Because I care for protocol and can stand some bugs, that others could not.
Lots of people complain about Schildichat for various reasons, but Element for Android gets unbearably slow for me after less than a day of use. Clearing the cache resets the timer, but it just keeps happening. That doesn’t happen on Schildichat, and those two apps are the only ones I know of that support both spaces and threads, which I need.
