So after I deleted my WhatsApp account, I convinced a friend to install #Conversations on his phone.
I don't think he would have installed it if I still would use WhatsApp.
Some things which are unnecassary complicated for DAUs and maybe prevent others from using Conversations:
- Only via F-Droid available free
=> Install F-Droid from untrusted source
=> no automatic updates (only semi without root)
- Why does #Trashserver not allow registration via XMPP client?
@marzzzello you can ask @trashserver why the registration is closed(?).
Or you choose another server, maybe a smaller one. That will create a more decentralised network, and that's what xmpp is and should be!
@marzzzello registrations are closed because Captchas are not supported in in-band registration. Please use the form on the website to register.
@trashserver I think conversations.im does use captchas for in-band registration?!
@nuron there is no working solution for Prosody. Conversations uses Ejabberd.
Thanks for all your replys.
-PixArt looks good for Google Play users (but looks like its an older version of Conv)
- Smaller/other server only helps if you don't use Prosody or captchas. Seems like dismail.de doesn't use captchas.
@marzzzello You could try Pix-art messenger. It's a fork oft Conversations and free in Google Play.
