I’ve been using it for a few weeks now, and it seems really great. it’s nice seeing actual progress and improvements in the mobile app. The glacial speed of Stoat had me pessimistic that anything could replace discord, but Fluxer’s honestly already there. The screen sharing and video calling just needs some work (and also federation!)
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 😔
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
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
Matrix is cool but the lackluster custom emote support on mobile clients is kind of a deal breaker for me
If they had a super cheap $1 tier just for being able to use custom emotes anywhere, I’d honestly love that. Though I feel like the $5/month for Plutonium is a lot better than $10/month that discord nitro goes for
I’ve been trying Fluxer recently and it’s been really great. though not as nice as Stoat with emotes, they still give 500 emote slots and 500 sticker slots for servers on the main instance. The mobile app that recently came out are a bit rough around the edges, but works well enough to replace discord for me (if only I could get all my friends on it…)
yep! you can even turn on a notification sound for messages in the current channel while the window is focused
tbh in the video it did look like the dog was charging the officer. though, they definitely should’ve been less trigger happy and taken the weight of firing a gun more seriously
I hadn’t heard of A Modest Proposal before, but I just went and read it, and wow. I’m not sure what I was expecting but that was a crazy read. I don’t think I’ll forget about it for a long time.
