XMPP

There is a little bit more than just service.movim.enable = true; but it’s not far off. For those looking to a Docker alternative & reproducible/declarative builds, this could be quite useful.

Slidge is a multi-network puppeteering gateway project that can be added to any xmpp server.

The 50th release of the XMPP Newsletter!

Tl;dr: It emulates the Pushover API to send notifications directly via XMPP.

I'm not self hosting, so I'm depending on what the server admin enables, and the policies they establish.

That said, the server fully supports xep-0313, which perhaps among other things control messages being kept on the server precisely for the purpose of sending them to all registered devices, thus allowing the sync.

But perhaps there's a policy in place removing the messages from the server as soon as some device has gotten it, leaving only online devices with the ability to grab them. I don't know if that's possible...

I experimented getting a device offline for a couple of minutes, and then exchanged messages with another account, and also to my same account. Then eventually I got the device offline, and none of the messages, not even the ones sent to myself, were ever synced on the device just coming online...

This is really sad, since that's precisely one of the benefits of having servers over peer to peer solutions, it's easier to sync devices through the server.

Might this be some sort of policy to keep disk usage on the server low?

I might need to explore some other server if that's the case...

Thanks !

Edit: Communicated with the admin, and they mentioned this was unexpected.

Just wondering, as the reasons to move here are gone, can the community go back to lemmy.ml? There are quite some posts over lemmy.ml, so going back there would be useful I believe, and also moving the few posts here over there would be just great (perhaps not the comments)...

Just an honest question, not to provoke flame wars or anything like it...

Greetings !

Also works on Cheogram and Monocles XMPP apps.

Appealing the removal didn’t yield any result. Google just repeated the same statement "the app was removed because it uploads the contact list" without even acknowledging any of the arguments I made in the appeal.

I understand that most of my audience here on Mastodon is more ideology aligned with F-Droid but the app sales on Google Play store have contributed significantly to me working (almost) full time on #Conversations_im.

Without the revenue from Google Play I can’t afford this.

Sorry if this isn't the right venue for that, I thought it'd be in the tone of "self-hosting" and "federation" :)

tl;dr: some XMPP servers started to deploy a mod to report back about how they federate with the rest of the network, and now there is a pretty graph to show for it at https://xmppnetwork.goodbytes.im/webgl.html

Short tutorial.

Most interesting for regular userd is probably that it mentions built in Matrix bridge again, but technical details are lacking.
