I will be upfront with this, and say that I’ve never been a huge fan. But I did reinstall a Matrix server, and some clients to see if it’d gotten better in the year or so since I’ve last used it.
This just… Kind of feels like a more centralized XMPP with group chat folders that sort of function? The spaces feature is neat, but I’ve tried 4-5 clients, and every single one of those throws all of them into the same screen as the DMs by default, and I can’t find a way to change that.
Am I missing something here? Like. I want to at least see what people like here, I just can’t.
Which app? Which implementation?
I’m assuming they’re talking about Cheogram, since they mentioned it in their comment, and Cheogram does prompt you to set up a phone number at the end of the login process. I don’t know how well they work, because I don’t use it
