It has improved tremendously, but it's still nowhere on par with solutions such as Telegram or Discord. As much as I like Matrix, the clients (which I think is where the UX lies for me, as I think it's expected that it takes effort to set up a homeserver), are horrible.

Have you seen Cinny?[1]
It's a very Discord-like client that I'd honestly the best I've used thus far. I instantly switched to it as mt daily driver on the computer and even made a donation to help out the maintainers.
The thing I miss the most is localization, but I get it's not a big priority. I just like translating things, seeing how that can help people.

I'm using it right now and it's the best on I've found. But it doesn't support the up-arrow-to-edit feature, which drives me crazy. There's an open issue for it, so I'm hoping it gets resolved (or I might try to do it myself somehow).
Other than that, Cinny doesn't address the problem of Element on mobile not working very well. FluffyChat's UI isn't very nice either.

Hehe, I hopened with the inte tion to do it myself too, but never got around to doing it. It would require me to learn a bit of react and I don't have the time for it atm :/
I can accept that. But in order to improve, we have to get specific about what it is that is lacking compared to e.g. Discord.
