Well, this is kind of work in progress for XMPP and DeltaChat doesn’t support it. But you can for example try out movim.eu which is a webbased xmpp client (with PWA app) which does support screensharing in small group calls.
Matrix stans mentally block out the many issues it has, so take everything they say with a grain of salt 😅

These days not so much, but you might find their contracts with the military also objectionable.
But they got a major early investment in 2018 from Status, a cryptocurrency/web3 company, and later in 2021 an even bigger one in relation to Protocol Labs, who peddle their own cryptocurrency.
But persnally I would not recommend Stout either as it is not a serious project nor does it federate. Maybe look into XMPP or DeltaChat.
- Comment on Alternatives to Mattermost 3 days ago:
You must have used a very outdated client (like Pidgin) because history is syncronized via the server reliably since 10+ years on xmpp with clients that support the MAM standard.
- Comment on Alternatives to Mattermost 3 days ago:
The servers are great, but the currently available clients are only great for non-corporate usecases IMHO.
- Comment on Alternatives to Mattermost 3 days ago:
Xmpp works great for 1:1 chats and small private groups, but there isn’t really an enterprise team chat client for it. Recently some promising projects came up trying to change that, but they are still too new to be serious contenders for that usecase specifically. Maybe in 1-2 years the situation will be different.
- Comment on Can you help me adapt the Signal TLS Proxy to be used behind Nginx Proxy Manager? 4 days ago:
I mean good that you are interested in hosting a proxy, but Nginx Proxy Manager hides away a lot of features and is probably not such a good idea to use when you want to run more complex and security relevant apps like a Signal proxy.
I know this is a bit annoying as an answer, but learning a bit of regular Nginx is probably the better idea in the long run as you usually outgrow NPM quickly.
- Comment on Is there any service that provide a community growth chart? 4 days ago:
Fedidb does that for instances, but not individual communities. Might be easy to add though.
- Comment on What else should I selfhost? 5 days ago:
A Snikket server is cool.
Navidrome maybe, but Jellyfin also works for music.

If you switch to the dns-01 challenge you can just generate the certs on multiple servers hasselfree. And as a bonus you can get wildcard certs for subdomains.
- Comment on Federated blog platforms? (ideally lightweight) 6 days ago:
Most microblogging platforms actually don’t artificially limit the amount you can write, unlike Mastodon, so they can also work for macro-blogging.

Maybe overkill, but Peertube can definitely do that well.

Your server might have been hacked. There was a recent issue with a NodeJS software injecting a cryptominer onto other peoples servers, but I forgot the exact details.
- Comment on Messaging apps - XMPP vs Matrix vs ??? 1 week ago:
What people say about Synapse is also somewhat outdated. These days it isn’t actually that much worse than Conduit (or forks), the main issue is that when you start joining older and bigger rooms the resource use goes through the roof, and that is also a problem with Conduit etc. Ultimately, this is a protocol issue and not an implementation issue.
- Comment on Messaging apps - XMPP vs Matrix vs ??? 1 week ago:
There are multiple good XMPP mobile apps for Android: joinjabber.org/docs/apps/
The story on iOS is somewhat less good right now, but Monal is ok and Movim works quite well as a PWA in Safari.

Apparently a rebranded LiveKit, which is developed by an US American company…
- Comment on Messaging apps - XMPP vs Matrix vs ??? 1 week ago:
XMPP is generally nicer to host due to lower resource requirements and better server management in general. The mobile apps are also much more snappy and need much less battery, plus notifications are more reliable.
Matrix has somewhat more public rooms of FOSS projects you can join, but typically these projects are also available on IRC, which you can join via the excellent Biboumi gateway for XMPP.

Looks like FreeCiv? I guess they share assets?

This is why ventilators can make sense to run in tall rooms even during the winter.
- Comment on A Perfect Battery Doesn’t Exist… Or Does It? 2 weeks ago:
Sure, but these new C40 cells seem great for DIY projects since they don’t need compression like those rectangular ones or a lot of welding like those small standard cells.

- Comment on E-Mail with own domain 2 weeks ago:
As others have said already, email is one of the few things I would avoid self-hosting.
You could check with your domain / DNS host if they also offer email. OVH for example gives a free 5GB email for every domain. Otherwise there are of course email providers that let you use your own domain.

You are funny. That article links directly to what media typically refers to, i.e. “mass media”.
Asks any typical person around you what they understand if you talk about “the media”, and they will confirm that this indeed refers to what I am talking about.
- Comment on About decentralised storage of fediverse data. 2 weeks ago:
Garage has deduplication of all files, yes. Obviously if you host something on server not under your control you have to have a certain trust in them. Generally speaking Garage seems to be a good replacement for Minio, but I don’t have any direct tips for migrating.
There was also a project for Mastodon to sit between it and any S3 storage that would allow sharing and deduplicating files between instances, but I can’t find it right now and forgot the name. But it seemed stuck in a rewrite and not actively developed outside of that.
- Comment on I made a self-hostable frontend for instagram. 2 weeks ago:
No, that is not what media means. That might be what the original word in Latin meant, but in English it is used to refer to things like newpapers, TV channels and so on.
- Comment on About decentralised storage of fediverse data. 2 weeks ago:
Its is commonly done with S3 compatible storage, and projects like Garage allow to do so in a distributed way.
Neither Bittorrent or IPFS seem particularly well suited for this.

Wat? Sorry, but your definition is even further from anything that could be called a consensus. You could maybe argue that WhatsApp is a social network, but it definitly isn’t social media and it is completly outlandish to claim so. Where do you even get the “media” part in it? You know, compound words are still made up of induvidual words that have a meaning by itself. Kinda funny that you accuse me of “making up definitions” 🙄
But sure there are some blurry edges between them. Like of Instagram is primarily used for social media, but the direct messages are more used like a social network.
