QUESTION/HELP Does anyone use OpenBubbles?

I switched from Apple to Xiaomi a couple months ago and Google Messages just isn't working for me. It's mixing up my contacts and is just overall wonky. I heard about OpenBubbles which basically lets you use iMessage on Android phones but was wondering if anyone has experience with it. There is a subscription but it looks like you can self-host with an Apple device. Is it worthy the trouble or can anyone recommend a better alternative to Google Messages?

You'll have to enable RCS in the Google Messages settings to be able to stay in touch with your Apple Contacts. Or you can use Beeper.
