For those who can’t wait for Emoji Reactions I made #Conversations_im available for free on Google Play for the next couple of days.

(Note that the Google Play version has some drawbacks like no address book integration and no public channel discovery. For channel discovery you can use https://search.jabber.network directly.)
Good news and bad news.
#Conversations_im 2.17.0 has support for emoji reactions 🎉
Since @Codeberg appears to be under constant DDoS attacks they have added pretty strict rate limits that the @fdroidorg build server keeps running into. 😞
Another build cycle just failed and it's unclear when 2.17.0 will be available on F-Droid.
Maybe Codeberg and F-Droid can back channel an allow list or something? 🙏

A chat bubble in the Conversations app with the message 'hi all. I'm trying to take a screenshot for Mastodon. Can I get some reactions on this message?!' and a bunch of reactions to said message.
