We moved our instance Matrix to Zulip. It is much better now and makes peoples talk way more than on Matrix.

    May I ask why Zulip was selected over others like xmpp or irc? I'm just generally curious about zulip's potential advantages in the long-term

    If I remember correctly it was for the structural organization. Creating channels and topics, marking them done and stuff like that.

    A kind of open Slack, more designed for projects or companies organized comms rather than just chatting.

    piefed.social now has a Zulip server too although the Matrix rooms are still open. Seems like the tide is going out on Matrix though.

    Yep, I didn’t join as I am only there for the general shit talking and not participating in any constructive or useful conversations (it’s a way of life) but Camus, Snoopy, Anansi, THE meerkat and probably others are participating with you on the piefed zulip and codeberg.

    The jlailu matrix is still open but inactive and left to slowly wither and die, every sidebars are now linked to the zulip server instead of matrix.

    Looked this up out of curiosity and the fact that it will only somehow allow mobile notifications for "up to 10 users" even if self hosting for free, is putting me off. I get if you were using their cloud, but restricting self-hosting almost feels malicious.

    Dunno I am not administrating it so I didn’t checked. We got the sponsorship tiers as a lemmy/piefed instance is an open source project https://zulip.com/help/self-hosted-billing#free-community-plan

    I believe Rimu (piefed dev) also got the sponsorship.

    I plan on using it for personal business projects (self hosted or not, it is not defined yet) to organize comms and plans in topics. But it’s a small team of way less than 10 and if it grows bigger than that it will means we have du money to upgrade (it won’t be eligible for sponsorship tho).
