Cinny is an awesome desktop client, as is Element, Fractal (GNOME, no spaces support though) and NeoChat (KDE)

For mobile, I personally prefer FluffyChat, but there's other options too.

edit: I currently use Sable (a fork of Cinny I think), still using FluffyChat on Android.

Cinny calls an old matrix endpoint that returns 403 I’m surprised more people aren’t getting their home ip fail2banned.

/_matrix/media/v3/config for those who are interested.

It worked for me, so dunno if this is a widespread issue. I now use Sable though since I prefer it over Cinny (it's a fork with extra bits I think)
