Adopt NeoChat!
This chat client works on both your desktop and phone and will let you communicate over the free and de-centralized and secure Matrix instant messaging platform.
There are two ways of getting features into KDE apps that work better than wishing 😉 :
-
contributing to our fundraiser, or donating to the project, or whatever. That is, providing the developers with means to get stuff done, either by buying them time so they can spend it on developing, or hiring help. If you are on this thread it is because you are doing this, or considering doing this, or whatever, so we can assume you already know about this.
-
contributing with your know-how. Check out our get involved page, as it describes in detail how you can help with the implementation the things NeoChat needs.

Libquotient just added cross-signing support, which works in Neochat if it’s build against the new version. I’m not sure what else was missing from E2EE support.
Shouldn’t the mascot be a cat with sunglasses and a lather coat?
Friendly suggestion - it might be a good idea to link to a longer explanation, esp. around the E2EE, here :)
“everything in the current stable specification with the notable exceptions of VoIP, threads and some aspects of End-to-End Encryption are supported”
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social When will Neochat have thread support?

That didn’t answer the question. Is there an answer to this question, or a way to find the answer? I don’t see any way to see Feature Requests for NeoChat. Only instructions for submitting PRs.
EDIT: Found it in the KDE Bug Tracker - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466606
@HybridSarcasm @Bro666 Threads are a surprisingly complex feature to implement and the matrix spec for them is not that great unfortunately
There are two ways to getting answers, and apparently neither involves the copying and pasting the mod of the community is doing xD

Is the F-Droid version abandoned? It crashes on startup on my phone.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I can’t get it to run on Android reliably (although I’d love to). YMMV.
Does it do regular SMS? If you say yes, then my next question will be, does it do RCS? Or is that monopolized by Google? Because I’d extremely happy to leave Google’s shitty messenger.
@alextecplayz@techhub.social Technically, you could use a Beeper account (or another homeserver with mautrix-gmessages set up) with NeoChat, but that’s not guaranteed to work by either side.

Wow. NeoChat 4.99 €! on Microsoft App Store
https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9pnxwvnrc29hfor such an amazing product, that’s a steal! 🤩
@ivandelviejo @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social that is more like a donation
You can download the exe for free. The price is a donation + offsetting the cost to publish apps to the Microsoft store
