The slidge blog - The Slidge family is growing

Me, today: Uses only one IM, #Jabber/#XMPP, but with bridges to IRC, SMS, and Matrix 🙂 No need for multi-protocol clients.

Ich benutze #Jabber seit 2008. Enfangs mit ejabberd, seit einiger Zeit aber mit prosody, weil man damit eher einen Transport zu zB Whatsapp hinbekommen hat.
Ich habe seit Sommer auch #slidge und bin recht begeistert: WA, Signal, Matrix und Telegram laufen im XMPP mit.

More from #snikket / #xmpp exploration

Just had an audio and video call working with a family member, which is more than I ever managed with #matrix / #elementx

The final piece of the puzzle is integrating #slidge so that I can keep in contact with the rest of the family from one app, and then it's decommissioning time...

Implementing Slidge into YNH as a gateway from other IM to XMPP – looking for interest & call for help

Intro To keep it super-simple: Slidge is a way to communicate with people on other IM networks through your XMPP (i.e Jabber) client. Since running an XMPP server is very light on resources and YunoHost comes with one (Prosody), I think it would be great to have a YunoHost app for it. That would enable any YunoHost user (on a server with XMPP) to be able to chat on several networks via the same chat client. Currently, it covers: Matrix Signal Telegram Whatsapp Discord Mattermost Facebook M...

#snikket actualizado a la ultima release estable de este año, pero el gateway para #whatsapp de #slidge sigue sin funcionar y me temo que voy a tener que volver a usar la app oficial ¬¬
