“Profanity” is an XMPP app. (For those who got the wrong idea about the title)
What I use:
- Debian with Profanity (preferred for the proper keyboard and TUI)
- Android with Snikket
What my low-tech comrades use:
- iOS with Snikket
It’s a bit of a disaster. One iOS-Snikket user gets my msgs but never a notification. Another iOS-Snikket user is plagued with that error msg (some bogus msg about OMEMO being unsupported). My comrades are at the edge of sanity since I’m the one who imposed xmpp+omemo on them, and they have little tolerance for all the problems.
I’m not sure what to try next. I would hate to replace Profanity because it’s the only decent text based option with official debian support. Would it help if the iOS users switch from Snikket to Monocles?
I started with the snikket android app, which I actually rely on for inbound messages because if my desktop is shutdown when a msg arrives, Profanity will never get it. I occassionally send a msg using the Snikket app and it has a better success rate than Profanity.
