I want to connect my neighbourhood in some way, but I don't know how to handle this privacy friendly ๐Ÿค”

we want to connect to coordinate .. lets say some gardening. we can handle first information via email, but afterwards it gets messy for the organizer. the neighbours don't care about privacy at all as far as I know so Element/Matrix won't work. and most of them don't have 'media literacy skills. should I give in and forget about a coordinated talking ground outside of neighbourhood meetings irl?

So I'll just provide a QR-Code to the grouchat and they are in?

Yes!

Is Arcane available for both IOs and Android?

Oh okay, my bad. I forgot about iOS ๐Ÿ˜… ArcaneChat is available only for Android, but DeltaChat is available on both. They are inter-operable, so you can tell Android users to use ArcaneChat and iOS users to use DeltaChat. Or use DeltaChat for both. ArcaneChat just adds a couple features like Markdown.

And do I need a new inbox programm or an extra email if we use emsil like chat? I use thunderbird and I feel like there would be a lot of alerts popping up?

DeltaChat creates an account on its own kind of servers automatically so you don't have to worry about that.
