@leanderlindahl Is that fediverse compatible ?

@tofm2 hi tofm2, not sure how you mean? It's a messenger to talk friends and family, it's not a social web app, so I guess the answer is no.

I mean, for example, Matrix does the same, but it is rooten on fedidb protocol.

@tofm2 that said, I have seen no Matrix bridge to e.g. Mastodon – there have been tentatives, it seems, but nothing viable announced on the @matrix bridges page.

Good question. I am interested in having the answer

@tofm2 for one, DeltaChat is, if I got it right, basically server-less. Their network of mail servers provides for messages relay, but there is no storage there. DeltaChat is "pure E2EE", data is stored on clients. That's a huge difference vs Matrix.

As a consequence, I suspect there cannot be "public rooms" in DeltaChat, with content readable for newcomers. Same as WhatsApp groups, same reason: e2ee. Whereas Matrix allows for the "public room" type of chats/channels, by not requiring encryption and providing server-side storage.
