Not really. I mostly used Element, but I also tried fractal which seemed decent.

The tough thing is that the supported features are changing rapidly, so what might be a good client one year might be out of date the next year. I also had a lot of issues with Element randomly logging me out on my self-hosted server :/

hey sorry I have another question. Im curious about self-hosted with a chat program. Do you run it 24x7? One of the things with self hosted as far as mbin/lemmy/mastadon is if the instance is down it won't be available so running it from a laptop lets say were it is on and off would seem problematic (maybe its not and I am making it an issue in my head). Chat feels like it might work but im wondering about if someone sends you a message while the host is down. will it be able to get the message when the host is back up the next day? if you know given you may be running yours 24x7.

yes, I run my matrix server 24/7. I'm not really the expert on this, but I believe the way federation works on matrix is that downtime means that users on that instance will not be able to see/write messages, but users on other messages will still be able to write messages, which will later be picked up by the crashed instance when it comes back up. Not sure how it affects rooms.
