[Replicant] Matrix client on Replicant?

[David Lecompte]

Hi everyone,

Is there a free software matrix client working on Replicant?

In the Free Sofware Directory, I only found Fluffychat as a submission
in progress so I decided to try it. I installed it from F-Droid on my
GT-9300 with Replicant 6.0 0004rc5, the first thing required to set is
the matrix server but whether I set it to matrix.org or to my own
server, it says there is no response from the server remains blocked
there.

I tried it on another phone with LineageOS 18.1, there is no such
problem and the application quickly asks for the credentials to log in,
unlike on the GT-9300 with Replicant.

>From F-Droid, the only other clients that I found are Element and
Schildichat (based on Element apparently), but I heard they are
including Electron which is not entirely free software. Since I could
not find any entirely free software client working on Replicant, I tried
Element, it works.

By the way, after experimenting with Jami on Replicant for some time, it
is now in a crash/restart loop. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, still
the same, so I gave it up.

David.
