devlug.de is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
@vascorsd I had something similar to that happen to me recently as well. I'm using a #prosody server, and I have my:
archive_expires_after = "5w"
... set in /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua
Messages should be archived for 5 weeks.
Then messages sent in Gajim on one linux laptop were lost, when a second #Linux laptop who was subscribed to the same group, was turned off (absent from receiving messages) for 3 weeks. 2.75 of the 3 weeks worth of the group messages (where the laptop was turned off) silently never showed up, when #Gajim was re-opened on the second laptop.
This bodes very badly for me recommending XMPP to others. I now consider #DeltaChat to be a secondary choice, should something happen to #Signal (which is currently my privacy-respecting Messaging app goto).
Other clients who chatted in that same group, BTW: the latest stable #Monal in #iPadOS, and #Conversations in #Android
Prosody version is 13.0.0-1~bpo12+1, backend is sqlite, Gajim is 2.1.1. It was a private MUC, and OMEMO was used as much as possible.

.Im Ausland / auf #Reisen ist ein Smartphone jedoch sehr hilfreich.
Erst einmal wegen der Möglichkeit eine Offline Karte zu verwenden (via #OSM). Gerade beim #Wandern durch den Dschungel kann es hin und wieder sehr praktisch sein - besonders wenn man den Weg nicht erkennt.
Die zweite APP ist ein Messenger. Einmal um miteinander zu telefonieren, aber auch für Videocalls in die Heimart. Dies lief mit #Conversations einfach super!
Vielen Dank an den Entwickler! Selbst mit relative schlechtem Netz lief alles sehr gut! Wir haben zum telefonieren ausschließlich Audiocalls via Conversations verwendet.
Message Displayed Synchronization should work with #conversations (Android) and #monal (iOS) and of course with Gajim.
I recently developed a thing to turn a Conversations chat* into a PDF.

That story began with a friend of mine that had got a XMPP group chat where they shared updates and pictures of their latest travel adventure. Now chat is rather ephemeral and they wanted to preserve those memories in an easy accessible format that is PDF. And so I put something together.
* actually any chat as long as you can get the raw data in the expected format
