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.

    “show all rooms” is how you turn that off in element

    Nheko also supports spaces and has a filter to only show DMs, it also allows tagging rooms to do custom grouping of chats. But at the moment only element properly embeds calls with the new element-call system.

      Element/Element X on mobile both seem to be missing that, and I’m predominantly on mobile for… Most chat apps now. Only exception is I do usually do discord voice calls on desktop because of push to talk. Do you know of any mobile clients that’ll do that?

        SchildiChat Next is a close fork of element x with some great added features, like custom color and layout options.

        It has a “pseudo space” feature which allows grouping by a set of predefined filters and the filter “chats not added to spaces” would give you this. This pseudo space will then show up under the name “space orphans” :D
