Clients for Matrix? Newbie wanting to check out matrix chats (lemmy.world)

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?

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.
