COVID-19 pandemic, lack of volunteers, lack of money (which wasn't helped
by [Finnish money gathering law issues](https://github.com/liberapay/liberapay.org/issues/30)
etc.
1. Around 2023-04-24 the-apothecary.club went down and writing this on
2023-04-30 I am yet to hear anything about the downtime. Was it by intent,
will it return, anything? However I haven't been participating their
community in a long time and I was only using the account for testing
purposes so the information not reaching me is understandable, especially
considering their homeserver main room is not federated.
1. Around 2023-04-24 the-apothecary.club went down and returned sometime
2023-05-06. That would have been a long time with no communication on
Matrix and not having access to any rooms, but luckily I have been using my
account there just for accessibility testing and even if it was my primary
account, I would have had backup accounts. I still don't know what exactly
happened there, but I am not an active member of their community and they
are volunteers like most of Matrix (excluding EMS and other paid homeserver
offerings).
#### Why do you use Matrix URI scheme instead of matrix.to?

#### Which client do you recommend?
The one that fits your needs. Personally I mix-and-match:
Honestly the only one that I can recommend is [Nheko nightly flatpak](https://flatpak.neko.dev/repo/nightly/appstream/io.github.NhekoReborn.Nheko.flatpakref), even if it's also missing features I care about such as [Stories (#1038)](https://github.com/Nheko-Reborn/nheko/issues/1038).
I have also said it before, but for any serious use of Matrix, you will need [Element Web](https://github.com/vector-im/element-web) and especially the `/devtools` command it has.
If you absolutely need Matrix somewhere neither fits you, maybe [Hydrogen](https://github.com/vector-im/hydrogen-web) is your _PWA_ hoping your needs don't include too many Matrix accounts ([#783](https://github.com/vector-im/hydrogen-web/issues/783), [#817](https://github.com/vector-im/hydrogen-web/pull/817)) and hoping you [don't use SailfishOS](https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/progressive-web-app-pwa-in-native-browser/3867?u=mikaela) ([#1000](https://github.com/sailfishos/sailfish-browser/issues/1000)) or [Ubuntu Touch (#1144)](https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1144).

#### Which homeserver do you recommend?
I am hesistant to recommend any. Finnish users may be interested in the [Linux.fi wiki listing](https://www.linux.fi/wiki/Matrix), everyone else may be served by [joinmatrix.org listing](https://joinmatrix.org/servers/).
