For hosting of XMPP or matrix server, I am using www.freedombox.org, which uses Debian packages, on an Olinuxino Lime2, which I understood runs with free software only. This requires zero configuration and maintenance of ejabberd or synapse (the freedombox itself requires some maintenance). Unfortunately, file upload is not enabled for ejabberd. I firstly tried XMPP but several of my family members have iphones. I tried ChatSecure, Monal and Siskin on them, they all have serious problems for basic operation, one of the biggest is unreliable notifications, and they are too poorly displayed when not missing. The only other XMPP client I know is Snikket, but I would need a server to try it. > > In the Free Sofware Directory, I only found Fluffychat as a > > submission > > in progress so I decided to try it.

I receive notifications well on it, whether the XMPP server is conversations.im or my own ejabberd. Does it mean these two servers are providing a push notification service? Besides, are you using OMEMO on Conversations? Are you aware of any guideline how to handle OMEMO fingerprints properly? Or are you using OpenPGP? _______________________________________________ Replicant mailing list Replicant@osuosl.org https://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/replicant
