Thanks to @that_leaflet@lemmy.world, @acockworkorange@mander.xyz, and @HereToChewGum@fosstodon.org. Ok, so I've ditched Mintchat. Having a look at Nheko . . . is there a decent Matrix client that is more like Signal? In my old age I find it a bit bewildering to keep up with all the bells and whistles that Element seems to have. It was a major effort to get everyone I know on to Signal, and I don't expect them to migrate again to Matrix, although I'm thinking about using it so I can bridge SMS phone messages to my desktop (I barely know what I'm talking about here). I could also bridge Signal to Matrix I guess, but it sounds like that might be kind of insecure . . . what do you think? And then there's Beeper . . . 🤔
Matrix is more comparable to Discord and IRC. But check out Fractal. It’s got a minimalistic interface that will likely be more to your tastes. It’s still in beta though, so some functionality isn’t present yet. But what’s there was stable when I tried it.
As for bridging, I have no clue.
