Any Android apps that are recommended? And are there instance types for making Matrix too, and if so any that are recommended?

      Me too! I’be been using it for two years and it’s my chat application with my family and (some) friends. I’m happy with the stability and overall functionalities.

        That’s awesome. I tried a lot of them. But it’s the best. Even the forks of it are basically the same. So I stick with the original.

      fluffychat

      I find it hard to take a product seriously when it has “cute” in the first sentence in its description…

      Mozilla has a homeserver too? Very cool. Actually the reason I got interested, since /r/firefox had set up a place to reach them on matrix.

    when accessing matrix I was using SchildiChat, a fork of Element with improvements

    closed my own instance some time ago, but thinking on running it again soon, maybe using Conduit or Dendrite instead of Synapse

    I’ve been using Matrix for several years now, and am very happy with it, and with the progress that it made.

    I have one instance just for me, which I use for general chatting, as well as for some light experiments (I’m toying with some client development and trying new plugins or appservices now and then).

    I have another, private and undfederated instance for family comms. I set it up at the very beginning of the Covid-19 era, when nobody knew how long and how severe will the travel restrictions be, and we’ve been using it heavily ever since.

    +1 on SchildiChat here as well.

    I used to use FluffyChat but it would corrupt its internal SQLite database randomly. That happened a couple of times so I just stopped using it entirely.

      That’s good to know. I was leaning towards FluffyChat because it looked cute… But, I would rather go with something that is more reliable.

    We use it for work, roughly 18 months now, works extremely well. Using the element Android client is very decent experience, as well as the web client inside of ferdium on desktop. Thinking about setting up my own instance but this is not as straightforward as setting up lemmy :D

    When you’re starting, using the “stock” server, Synapse, and client, Element, are a good way to go.

    Once you’re familiar you could venture out into different clients or even servers.

    Same here actually. Haven’t tried Matrix at all and use Signal daily for regular messaging. Matrix looks promising though. Looking forward to seeing what instances people use our if self hosting is common.
