@gwilikers I would use element and I do use schildi but its a bit controversial as a client so element if foss and best is criteria
Schildichat is the only client I can use on my phone that implements both spaces and threads and doesn't have a memory leak.
@thejevans umm element leaks?
It does for me. And it has for over a year. I have to reset the cache every day or it slows to an unusable crawl. The web client works fine, though
Edit: github issue: https://github.com/element-hq/element-android/issues/6617
The new Element X is written in Rust and thus memory-safe. SchildiChat Next is based on it.
