Matrix is cool but the lackluster custom emote support on mobile clients is kind of a deal breaker for me
https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/2545 Exists since 2020. But are custom emotes really the reason that you don’t use matrix?
Sure Matrix supports custom emotes, but clients' support for them is still spotty. Element X didn't even show them at all when I tried, and fluffy chat would let you see them but had no emote picker. you just had to type the name into chat between colons
I don't know what you're trying to imply, but yes custom emote support is that important for me and my friends
Actually there are plenty of mobile clients with that feature lol.
I do use Extera Next and it does have them.
this does seem like a pretty nice mobile client. thanks for sharing!
though unfortunately there's no iOS version, so my partner can't use it
extera is a fluffychat fork, which does have an iOS client fwiw
yes but as I said elsewhere in the comments here, last I tried it the emoji picker didn't show custom emotes. To use them you had to specifically type out the emote name in colons 😔
