Yeah, I dunno. I feel like Matrix advertises these features, but they are simply not ready for primetime. You can have a really good experience if you don’t need spaces or if you don’t want mobile access, but between this issue and sooo many issues with marking things as read, I just can’t recommend it to anyone.
Don’t get me wrong, I love using it to bridge all the proprietary messaging services I need to use, and for the few native matrix rooms that I’m in, but all the rough edges frustrate the hell out of me.
Tho I have to say I never had this issue I daily drove element for 2 weeks until switching back to schildi but never encountered issues (also I used Android 9 if this makes any difference)
@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
same danlp6 just made myself lemmy account. Wait so it would be more risky using a more open client I use schildi anyway but like damn

The new Element X is written in Rust and thus memory-safe. SchildiChat Next is based on it.
