@tommi @ademalsasa @alexstandiford The mobile clients are native. There are also plenty of native desktop clients. Here is a list, filter it to your liking: https://matrix.org/clients-matrix/

@dinosauce @ademalsasa are all of these different options compatible with one-another, or does the nature of the platform make that not possible?

@alexstandiford @ademalsasa not really. Element is using Matrix, a federated protocol on its own. Fosscord is planning to develop a native compatibility layer with Discord as well as a federated protocol inspired from Matrix, but not currently available as of now. Others use their own protocol. The only way of cross-platform communication is using something like a bot right now.
