Does Friendica for instances, have something like Facebook Messenger going on? What would be the best for real time communication on both phone and desktop?

For group chat, I'd agree, but Matrix is awful for 1:1 chat. The encryption is a PITA, confusing, and, by now, I'm convinced it will always be.

Sad if true. I don't see it being practical to tell people to use different apps depending on the number of interlocutors.

That's what it was supposed to solve, but in practice it's used very rarely because it requires running your own server for the puppets, and few people are going to do that.
