I was immediately gonna comment “but does it support element-call” and to my surprise:
Supporting both, 1:1 calls over WebRTC, and voice channels with MatrixRTC + LiveKit
So to my knowledge this is the first non elenent fork client that supports the new call systen 🎉

afaik both fluffychat and cinny support it, but they don’t advertise it well.

FluffyChat from my testing just now only supports the legacy 1:1 p2p calls not the new element-call system that supports large group calls and performs much better. I dont think cinny supports element-call either if i look at their changelogs from the last year.

That’s emberrassing, I misread people talking in an issue about an open pr (github.com/cinnyapp/cinny/pull/2599) with them talking about an existing feature. That pr does seem reasonably close to landing though.

Ooh nice to see, thanks for the link. Once all the major matrix clients support livekit, matrix will be much more recommendable imo. Element works okay, but it really is insanely bloated when you look at what other clients achieve with less than 1/10th of the application size.
