Is there any iOS app developers who can work on the #snikket xmpp communication app,

message @snikket_im for info and details about the job .

Personally I don't benefit as I use Android but the community and the project will be grateful .

@snikket_im @jssfr Not sure why I have a Linux mint emoji on that post , but I think it works ! Opensource for the win .

Yesterday I set up my very first self hosted xmpp server with the help from #snikket after a small amount of debugging and a lot of advice from the guys on the snikket chat .
I have a family chat app that I control .

Thanks again @snikket_im great product and extremely supportive team .

Well thanks to @mike I've gone and bought myself a #pinetime smart watch 🙄

Mike ! Stop convincing me to part with my money !!!!

Can anyone recommend an xmpp server , one that supports video calling ?

Blabber.im which was amazing had been discontinued. 😥.

Or alternatively I'm happy to self host but I would need to setup video calling along with the xmpp server , I'm not entirely sure how easy this is .

So I'm obsessed at the moment with /e/ OS on my OnePlus 5t , I've installed lineageOS in the past but never really liked it. /e/ has allowed me to be Google free on my phone with ease.

I love the look of the UI and I love the free email account /nextcloud storage ,
Although I don't use the storage side of it (I self host all my storage) I love that it's an open source software.

Well done @e_mydata

You guys have breathed new life into my OnePlus 5t & finally it's goggle free

@PINE64 this might be of interest to you guys .

I've just discovered that the excellent #RuneAudio project , once thought dead , is very much alive , it's similar to moode audio and Volumio and it's based on Arch Linux .
If you fancy getting started using a raspberry pi and speaker then check it out .

It's being continued by fans of the original Rune Audio so its on GitHub now rather than the website .

Seriously ' blabber.im ' is an amazing app , I can't believe I haven't found it sooner it's a fork of conversations with a few changes that makes setting up easier amongst other things. Xmpp is an amazing protocol!!!! Thanks fosstodon community for advising me to you use it and thank you @blabber for providing this blabber.im

If your looking for an alternative to WhatsApp and signal then this is it .

At the end of the poll, after alot of advice and a bit of research , I think I will be giving xmpp my use and donations from now on . Thanks all who have me advice and votes in the poll

Is there a good conversations server ?

I understand they need to keep the lights on and conversations is only €8 a year but is this the server to choose ? Are their free ones ?

Wow why have I taken this long to look at XMPP it looks like the perfect option, can anyone recommend the best clients applications for Android and Linux ?

I want to know the general thoughts on signal , I've used it for years but currently I'm worried it's going closed source . What's you opinion on signal. What's alternatives do you use .
