Heyy, how’s it going? After finding Lemmy and pushing myself to try it out I’m loving it, so if this is the reddit alternative, what about that discord alternative everyone’s talking about? Matrix. Tried downloading Element and got some kind of error message at the beginning, it’s probably fixable, but I could also not bother and get a different client. Anyone that uses Matrix has clients they’d recommend?

    I use Cinny for desktop use, heard good things about Sable 2.0 (non-vibecoded version), but I’m not sure they can make a client from ground up in a month without LLM usage, seems suspicious. FluffyChat for android, iOS version is available too. Verifying keys works, no encryption errors but I don’t have a lot of 1-on-1 rooms

      I don’t know much about security, but I avoided using Lemmy on my phone for example, is it safe to use something like matrix on your phone?

        A modern cell phone is just another computer with different underlying hardware. The security is dependent more upon the software & OS, and there can be flaws in those regardless of the hardware. Anything connected to the Internet (or any outside connection, really) is technically a risk. Nothing is ever certain.
