A tiny but very useful feature has been added in Movim today: you can now swipe to reply! ✨

And thanks a lot for your support, the yearly project costs has almost been covered 😁! And if you want to support me, everything is on the main website https://movim.eu/#fund

Enjoy ♥️!

(I also heard that there might be a Movim release in the upcoming weeks 👀)

We are getting close to having half of Russia onboarded to #Quicksy and me going broke on SMS fees. привет, I guess 👋🇷🇺

I was a bit silent the past few days. It's because I was focusing on improving and fixing many features related to Spaces in Movim 😁

Notifications and message counter are now correctly working in Spaces 🔔✨ Some other issues, related to performances and navigation were also fixed along the way 👀

There is also a totally new flow when adding a chatroom or answering an invite. Movim will try to know if the room you are joining is valid and gives you hints about it before adding it to your bookmarks ℹ️

I'm planning a new release in the upcoming weeks with all those exciting new features in it 😉

Enjoy!

#Matrix ist für mich gestorben. Ich werde meine Instanz wohl noch etwas laufen lassen, allerdings mir das ganze System zu kompliziert:
Ich war bis letzte Woche im @gnulinux Talk. Das lief auf meinem ("einfach zu installierendem") matrix-synapse auch mit meinem XMPP-Transport (Element ist mir zu behäbig, ich mags einfach nicht!) mit, ab und zu gab ich mal meinen Senf dazu, okay. Nun wurde das auf eine ominöse "Raum V12"-Version (??) geupdated - bei mir gehts nicht. Immerhin hat man seitens Gnulinux nachgeschaut, was los ist - heraus kam: geht nicht mit meinem Matrix-Synapse. Man gab mir außerdem zu verstehen, daß das Matrix-Synapse nicht so gut wäre. Ich bin nur user, aber ein user, der seit 2008 seinen eigenen #XMPP-Server am laufen hat. Gegen Matrix ist das ein Kinderspiel, muß ich feststellen - bzw. die Workarounds sind gut/besser dokumentiert.
Insgesamt ist Matrix aus meiner Sicht zu kompliziert, zu behäbig, für mich halt unpraktikabel.

Ich habe ein kleines Update von https://imday.de/ vorgenommen.

Vorher musste man entscheiden, ob man seine Telefonnummer verwenden möchte. Das fällt nun weg.
#Quicksy wird nur noch im jeweiligen Zielrezept als mögliche Vereinfachung geführt.
Man soll somit stärker ermutigt werden, bewusst und souverän eine Adresse anzulegen.

#xmpp #did #dut

https://imday.de/en/ has been updated.

You do not need to decide anymore whether you want to use your phonenumber.
The option to use #Quicksy is only mentioned as an alternative in the recipes for mobile phones.
The idea of this change is: encouraging the reader to create an own phonenumber-independent address.

Something @larma and I have been working on during the #IETF125 Hackathon in Shenzhen:

Dino (@dino) and #Conversations_im can now give you a little warning if it's currently the middle of the night for the contact you are chatting with.

Monal 6.4.19 (Build 1085, PR #1583) released.

Not sure why I did this, but ejabberd works fine on my gen 1 raspberry pi (14 years old, 512mb RAM). Would probably enough to handle a small instance for friends and family.

I recently added a display to #Conversations_im showing the number of stanzas (XMPP packets) sent/received in the current session. What are your counts and how long has your session been active? (Account Details -> 'Server info' in the overflow menu.)

New Movim stickers

Yesterday, I quickly put together a tutorial on how to replace ntfy.sh with a minimal, self-hosted XMPP server and published it as a GitHub Gist. Then I remembered I have a website and reworked it into two nice little posts:

✨Neue shiny Sticker✨

Bin jetzt mit glänzenden Argumenten für jede #Messenger-Diskussion gerüstet.

P.S.: Die ersten Sticker werden morgen Abend beim @datenpunks -#Plenum im @kursif verteilt.

#Lieblingssticker #Messengerwars #Matrix #XMPP

Alt...

2 glänzende Sticker auf schwarzen Grund geklebt. Der eine ist rosa, mit einer traurig schauenden Katze darauf. Auf ihn steht mit einer Schrift die aussieht, wie aus Zeitungsbuchstaben zusammen gesetzt: Es gibt keinen guten Messenger. Der andere Sticker ist grün. Auf ihm steht in je einer neuen Schriftart pro Wort: Die Zukunft ist dezentral.

Did you know that most Android #XMPP apps also work as a #UnifiedPush distributor and thus can easily replace apps like #ntfy (recently became vibe-coded) for this? Find our tutorial here: https://joinjabber.org/tutorials/service/unifiedpush/

We will have a combined #XMPP and #UnifiedPush stand at #CLT2026 on March 28th and 29th. Come talk to us if you are curious about either! We will have merch for both, test devices, lots of advice, and I've even heard rumors about free Haribo.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@fediversereport/116178002926045553

That's exactly why having a standard that covers all the interactions, clients and servers is primordial.

https://connectedplaces.online/reports/fr156-share-where/

Movim "API" is XMPP, Mastodon API is Mastodon API, developped by Mastodon and for Mastodon. Only the servers to servers interactions are standardized and specified in ActivityPub.

So the Spaces are now merged in Movim main branch! 🎉 The official instance https://mov.im/ has been updated 😸!

Do you want to know how it was done? And how it is actually implemented in Movim? I wrote a very detailed blog post about it there: https://mov.im/community/pubsub.movim.eu/Movim/fb46d699-adc1-4fda-a76e-71ca1d246b80 👀

The upcoming days will now be spent on stabilizing and fixing all the bugs we can find 🐛

And as always, if you want to support me in this amazing journey https://movim.eu/#fund ✨ And don't forget to spread around the good news 📢!
