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?

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?

I guess that primarily depends on which OS you're using on phone and computer and how you define "safe". I find Windows and Android inherently unsafe. Linux and GrapheneOS, mostly safe.

safest- id say, I don't think anything is 100% safe, like on pc i use linux and I feel that's safer than the old ass Iphone I use. Like on a phone they can decide tomorrow "oh btw we are gonna scan your entire phone now just because or record your screen or whatever" while on linux I feel that's not a thing.
