I like Matrix / element and use it in cases where others would use discord - spaces with several channels (rooms), but a bit censorship resistant and end to end encrypted.

For years I encounter two types of bugs:
- unable to decrypt message. Appears more or less randomly, to some users, proposed solution to run another session (like on desktop) usually does not help.
- read messages constantly marked as unread, even clicking on them does not mark it read, I have to press "mark as read". Also what is unread (which thread for example) is not very clear.

I don't want to blame the developers, I don't know how hard it is to fix, but it's a pity, because many people just switch to discord or even worse to Telegram because these types of bugs make it really hard to use.

So I wonder why is that? Is it not a priority? Is the development stalled? Are there better multiplatform matrix clients that support spaces?

Before you suggest signal / simplex / Threema / session - I'm specifically looking for support of spaces, meaning groups of many related channels that support end to end encryption.

e2e with large groups is pretty much impossible, isn't it?

I’ve had the same experience. While I appreciate the work invested, Matrix/Element feels broken and neglected.

I'm looking for a solution too. I need a replacement for Slack to have our team on. It needs to have channels and ideally encryption. What about Nextcloud Talk? That seems like a good option.
