Is it ok? Is there something else you recommend instead? I tried nextcloud talk and it was pretty bad. Jitsi was ok but self hosting it looked complicated. FOSS only, of course.
I do !
works pretty well on both AOSP phones and gnu+linux desktops. Sad thing though is that I don’t like using flatpak, and I prefer distro native built software, and on Artix/Arch, there are times where the version between the distro version is slightly outdated with regards to the mobile version, and that makes things not to work. This is mainly an issue ever since jami decided to stop supporting the gtk client on the desktop, to me the qt experience have been sad. Not sure if someone has forked the gtk client, that would be great.
So I’m using xmpp as my main messenger, and keep trying jami when it works.
I really like the p2p approach from jami, and also the way they care for those with no huge batteries phones, given they added support for unified push notifications, which can be of course avoided if required for extra privacy. Given my use case, I can’t turn jami into my main messenger yet, but I keep trying, :) Meanwhile xmpp is there for me.
The only issue I have with GNU-Jami <u>is them checking for Unique Usernames</u> it’s annoying & problematic<br> You have the DHT (“Distributed Hash-Table” based on Ethereum) & that should be enough<br> why even check for the uniqueness of the attached username ?<br> The DHT should be the ID & names need to be detachable from it<br> & we can’t even edit the username once registered
Otherwise it’s high-quality Libre/Free-Software but, <u>with room for improvements</u>
Element is pretty good
