Very cool, I’ll have to try this out with my prosody server. I’d use it for Facebook (after a long break, FB will be back in my XMPP network :D), Signal, and maybe Telegram. Does anyone know if any of those have issues with alternative clients?



Facebook does not like alternative clients, but this workaround [1] worked for me. Signal is OK, and Telegram actually encourages writing alternative clients [2]. I'm happy to assist setting it up, come say hi on our MUC.

I saw that page, but actually missed the note as it got filtered by my brain’s adblocker ;)

And thanks, it won’t be till next week as I’m at a festival this weekend, but I already joined (this might be my first XMPP MUC since around 2008) :)
