What am I missing with Matrix? (herbicide.fallcounty.omg.lol)

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.

Give other matrix clients a try: FluffyChat has separators for DMs, Groups, and Spaces.

Cinny has a Discord look. Mainly a desktop application so it doesn’t have an app, but works fairly well as a PWA.

If you’re on Android, Schildi Chat Next also has a lot of UI/UX tweaks that people enjoy.

    Fluffy does have a separator for groups, but from what I can tell it does show all of the space group chats in there. Not a huge deal for me (I don't use a lot of group DMs on discord), but will be for some friends

    Schildi I'd need to redownload to check, but it had the same look as ElementX

    Cinny, though... That's promising. Thank you!
