Any Android apps that are recommended? And are there instance types for making Matrix too, and if so any that are recommended?
I use element.io
I’m using [Element](Element - Secure Messenger (Group messenger - encrypted messaging, group chat and video calls) https://f-droid.org/packages/im.vector.app/)
+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.
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
Ive liked fluffychat on Android, but I’m waiting for elementx to come out honestly,
I use mozilla.org
fluffychat
I find it hard to take a product seriously when it has “cute” in the first sentence in its description…
Something about books, covers and judging…

Damn. Is it bad that it led me to wanting to try it out based purely on the icon and name.
I’m adding this into my Lemmy client’s README.
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.
