There isn’t one.

Because none of them have all features.

My favourites however are Fractal for desktop and Fluffychat for mobile because they both allow for multiple accounts in one window/app and they look nice, and Fluffychat has features that make it more customisable.

Or complete clients, doesn’t even need to be great but incorporating all features would be nice.

The same issue as XMPP, tons of clients each with partial support for features.

I used to use cinny, but i use fractal now just because its MUCH faster to launch

Nheko is my favourite client, it uses QT and is written in C++, its lightweight and works well on my machines with low resources, it also respects my system theme

Fluffychat on Android mobile. Feels familiar.

Slow as shit tho. I like ittho

Alps will randomly rotate photos for some reason

0 clue what this no permission issue on Spaces is

Schildi Next

  1. nice GUI
  2. Supports spaces

I like SchildiChat the most, since it has a nice UI and supports both E2EE and calls.

Beeper is partially open source and I’ve used it for many years now.

Cinny because its layout is very similar to Discord
