is piefed social down?
post
This is interesting to me as I have been to lazy to do much other fediverse things like matrix mainly because I have to make another account. I think being able to connect to other services with another fediverse login would go a long way to get other aspects become more popular. Like how google and microsoft and facebook and such let you login to stuff with their system.
I think the fediverse should look for XMPP for chat solution. It is what comes closest to its philosophy
I agree.
I tried to create a XMPP server, twice. I failed once but one of them I got running but then I found it hard to get a decent desktop app which connected to it. By the end of the experiment I could see why XMPP didn't take off.
Is there any client for XMPP that support threads (https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0201.html)?
Last time I checked I couldn't find any
Gajim is the favorite for threads https://gajim.org/
Desktop? For mobile I think Conversations has that feature, the one I use is a fork and it supports threads, although not as good as Discord IMO
Desktop indeed
When you say threads do you mean within a chatroom or something like an Elements/Discord structure with "channel" and "subchannel" because for the former there are decent options, but for the latter there is a lack of "spaces" being defined but it is in development by the Movim and Slidge devs. I went pretty far down this rabbit hole and ended on Zulip being the easiest FOSS drop-in for Discord that wasn't Matrix, though people who manage to run it tend to love MatterMost.
i dont understand why we would want to splinter the community in seperate software? Why not just have a chatroom style thread so the data etc is still indexed by search engines and on piefed
Cool that you're using Zulip server. And Zulip has a new mobile app out, also available via F-Droid.
