I’m looking for something to share images and videos between small family group. We use mix of android and apple. Text messages are terrible for images and videos.

We were using telegram, now I want to see what lemmy has to offer. Thank you in advance.

    Everyone is saying Signal, but my family uses a Matrix space (mix of phones and PCs in this case) and it works great. It’s FOSS, federated. Truly future-proof.

      Yeah. Signal is the most polished, but Matrix is the most future-proof.

      And that’s not to say that matrix lacks polish, Signal is just excellent in this regard.

        At this point I feel the Matrix clients I’ve been keeping on eye on are more polished than Signal. None of my contacts are on Matrix though.

          Yeah? Which ones specifically? I like to keep tabs on Matrix - it’s really the most open of the secure systems, and if it’s clean enough to recommend, all the better.

            I recommend Element web (it has a nice PWA), Element X for Android, and the matrix.org homeserver. They’re in the middle of a migration to OpenID Connect which should simplify auth for users. You may wanna wait for that.
