  3. didn't know @delta use chatmail servers and relays! the thing that used to stop me recommending it was that setting up gmail was a bit fiddly. but onboarding now is chefskiss.gif

    so this might become my new main im

    Mir ist kein Limit von Zweitgeräten bei #DeltaChat bekannt.

    Zur Verbindung müssen sich beide Geräte im selben Netzwerk befinden.

  5. @oemb1905 No, we are not deprecating using self-hosted email servers with #deltachat ... there are in fact many different types of email servers in use today. However, using Delta Chat as a cleartext email client (especially when you have other email clients reading the same inbox) is not a goal anymore, at least since the V2 releases last year. It's all about end-to-end encryption and using servers in a simplified only-INBOX way, all standards based: github.com/chatmail/core/blob/

  6. @pixelschubsi @arcanechat @Monal I have a #prosody #XMPP server still around. I started it temporarily.

    Wouldn't you know it, same issue was found there: (freshly-installed) Monal in #iPadOS can **initiate** a successful video call, but cannot **receive** a call.

    It's _almost as though_ #Apple is up to something evil, at the OS level, which is thwarting both Monal and #Deltachat from **receiving** calls.

    It was the Dino (0.5.0-1, plain deb pkg) client in #Debian Trixie #Linux which I used on the other end. (And Dino also had the same issue as Deltachat: defaulted to wrong/worse webcam - but at least it was switchable to the better one in Dino)

  7. #Deltachat allows you to run applications within a given group/conversation. Today's application is tictactoe v. 2.2.0 by arcanecircle webxdc.org/apps/#arcanecircle- Follow #webxdc for more apps.

  8. @arcanechat Now that I think about this a bit, I have to admit #Deltachat has gotten further into the highly difficult #iPadOS ecosystem than #XMPP has managed to: a working video call. Even if it's only a one-way call (iPadOS must initiate it, at present).

    This is breakthrough is something to celebrate, even in its imperfection. Nice work, Deltachat devs!! :RedHearts:

    PS: even though the Signal *client* is open source, it can't really be compared to what XMPP and Deltachat are trying to do: the full stack, including the server, in #OpenSource

  9. @oemb1905 @arcanechat #Android to #Android video call was good in #Deltachat.

    Calls to and from linux/flatpak <-> Android was good, but you can't pick the webcam. Deltachat in #Linux (flatpak) only wanted to use my poor-quality built-in webcam, not the far-nicer USB webcam.

    So iPadOS is the "stinker": it can initiate video calls, but not receive them. It's right up to date: v2.59.1

    No stun/turn problems on my Deltachat server!

  14. @oemb1905 @arcanechat I did a quick test between 2 of my own devices. My iPad could initiate a call to my linux desktop/flatpak. But could the linux/flatpak initiate to the iPad? No. Both are using the same Deltachat server.

    I think the audio/video call functionality isn't well-tested in #Deltachat yet.

    (Edit: issue commented on in github: github.com/deltachat/deltachat
    )

  15. @oemb1905 @arcanechat I've got #Deltachat v2.59.1desktop for linux from flatpak. The audio and video calls are only usable in one-on-one chats. A phone icon appears in the upper right. Clicking it reveals a sub-menu with "Audio Call" and "Video Call".

    This also applies in Deltachat for Android: no audio/video call in group chat

  17. I've been quite busy with local work, so I haven't been posting as much on the Fediverse.

    Also been introducing more local people to the DeltaChat privacy messenger.

    Don't hesitate to message me, especially if you are wanting to buy a ThinkCentre mini PC with Linux. I still have some available.

    > why would we use ChatMail for messaging apps instead of XMPP or Matrix?

    there are several reasons!

    first of all, it is the app closer to #WhatsApp appearance that has a multi-platform client with feature parity, you just have to tell people "install Delta Chat" the story is much more complicated with #XMPP

    also when moving from one device to another, with #DeltaChat you can import backups from android into desktop etc. this is just not possible in xmpp since backups are not compatible across clients

    #matrix server is super expensive/bloated, while you can host +1k users in the cheapest VPS or Raspberry Pi you find

    when you host chatmail you have literally almost zero maintenance: accounts get created and removed automatically, messages get also wiped automatically, you don't need to handle account deletion requests etc. server storage is kept low

    in matrix and xmpp clients if the server goes down or your server account gets removed you have to start all over in a new profile, you lose all your chats, messages, contacts, etc. with delta chat you can easily migrate servers without losing anything, your profile lives in your device and is owned by you!

    you can also use several servers at the same time with Delta Chat meaning if one goes down it doesn't matter you keep receiving messages, this alone set it in a completely different league compared to matrix or xmpp

    in matrix a lot of group metadata lives in the server, and in xmpp if the server where you created the group goes down, the group is lost, not even people in other servers can keep chatting in the group, is a big centralization problem

    ofc, software and protocols can change, but this is just the reality today, I would not use xmpp or matrix for my family chat when what I get with Delta Chat is a much nicer user experience and much more resilient

  19. J'essaie de faire un truc simple pour expliquer concrètement la prise en main de Delta Chat ( @delta ) en mettant volontairement de coté la technique, pour essayer de séduire le grand public.

  21. Привітики! 👋

    Маємо невелику зміну щодо нашого Delta Chat сервера.
    chat.zashm.org переходить у режим підтримки. Сервер продовжить працювати, отримувати необхідні оновлення та обслуговуватися, але реєстрацію нових користувачів відсьогодні закрито.

    Для тих, хто вже користується сервером, нічого не змінюється — ваші облікові записи та сам Delta Chat продовжують працювати як і раніше.

    Чи відкриємо реєстрацію знову? Поки не знаємо. Можливо, повернемо її в майбутньому, а можливо, сервер так і залишиться доступним лише для наявних користувачів.
    Сам сервер ми не закриваємо — просто припиняємо його подальше розширення та залишаємо в режимі підтримки. 💜

  22. A może by tak zgłosić prelekcję na tegoroczną #JesieńLinuksowa.? Myślałem wstępnie o #DeltaChat, #chatmail i jak to wygląda od strony admina 👨🏻‍💻 Jakieś słowa zachęty?

  23. Signal travaillerait sur une fonctionnalité d'enregistrement sans numéro de téléphone : aboutsignal.com/news/signal-is

    C'est une information intéressante, ça pourrait rendre Signal plus attractif dans un sens, mais niveau spam je ne sais pas ce que ça va donner.
    A voir quelle forme ça va prendre et comment cela va se comparer à deltachat et SimpleX ?🤔
    En tout cas c'est pas mal de voir Signal écouter les retours de la communauté 🤓

  26. Hey @delta! Reading this delta.chat/en/2025-05-22-brows got me thinking. I live in Firefox but miss Chrome’s one-click “Install PWA as app”. What about a Tauri-based helper + a Firefox extension that wraps a PWA into a desktop app in one step? Hosting stays light: the PWA is cached; relays/self-hosted instances can serve the client. Keeps control with admins. Interested? 👍🏻

  27. In Afghanistan kappen die Taliban gerade das Internet und mit der geplanten #EUChatControl kommen bei uns die Einschläge auch immer näher. Zeit, sich über alternativen digitale Kommunikationsmittel Gedanken zu machen:
