Matrix and Stoat
do you know if stoat's ios client good enough? last i tried the android one was also very basic.
I don't use ios and I don't know what your standard of "good enough" is.
I've tried ouy the android one back when it was named Revolt and I though it was on par with Discord from a few years ago before they added in all the stickers and games, so I thought it was "good enough"
Just try it and see
XMPP, Conversations is a Nice Android client.
