Since this community was partially inaccessible due to a long standing bug in Lemmy, we moved to a new XMPP community here instead: !xmpp@slrpnk.net

XMPP/Jabber is the community-owned standard for real-time federated messaging.

Multiple device use needs no special setup, but given the inherent forward security of OMEMO, new devices will not have access to old messages.

You can make backups of your decrypted chats through the settings menu in Conversations.

Making a backup of the keys is unnecessary as they should be treated as device specific and not transferred between devices.
