I wanted to switch to Element X, but then noticed threads are not well supported.

github.com Threads support · Issue #2831 · element-hq/element-x-android

Your use case Hi, I'm missing the threads in ElementX. When some people in a room use threads, reading the messages in elementX becomes a mess. It's also a vert useful feature even on simple friend...

well, yeah, Element X is in pre-alpha. Of course it doesn't have feature parity with Element.
- @thejevans It's really confusing to me what state Element X is actually in. On their blog @element refer to it as "production ready":
  
  https://element.io/blog/we-have-lift-off-element-x-call-and-server-suite-are-ready/
  
  production ready means the features that are implemented work reliably, not that all the features are implemented.
  
  That's my 2c anyway.
  
  You're right, that is extremely confusing
Fluffychat does not support them either: https://github.com/krille-chan/fluffychat/issues/497
Nheko has this feature... I think cinny does as well... I wish gomuks did...
- I tried Cinny on my phone browser but got an error.
  
  Is Nheko seems to be only desktop?
  
  nheko is used by a lot of pinephone users. it works great on mobile. and as i type this, i'm realizing you meant for like a normal ass mobile phone... my bad lol.
  
  edit - that said... and i don't know why this is so controversial given the self hosting option, I really like what beeper offers. But you do need a beeper account vs matrix (even tho its the same but I digress)
Seems a bit surprising as this is a very popular feature
- It's not
  
  FWIW at my job using Slack threads are critical. I've never used threads anywhere else though. I think it just depends on the nature of the community.

Isn't that what made the powerful girls?
