    hello adbalde20, this is where the people who run XMPP servers themselves hang out

  2. tom

    It's a useful place to find information or just hang out in

  3. adbalde20

    Whoa what?

  4. tom

    what part didn't you understand?

  5. adbalde20

    Cool, this is that same group?

  6. tom

    yes, turns out I didn't have to type it out. I could just invite you to it

  7. tom

    question for anyone in general, Do I need to host my own server or ask a operator if I want to make a new conference?

  8. tom

    I want to add a bridging bot to the XMPP network, help a group of people on a propritary walled garden instant messaging network slowly transition to using XMPP

  9. tom

    I figured bridging would be the best way to do that

    tom: which walled garden?

  11. tom

    oli, Telegram

    und die bridge funktioniert als user oder als component?

  13. Ge0rG

    tom: you can of course ask any friendly server admin to run a component for you, but if you want to run it yourself, you'll need a server or https://github.com/dwd/Metre as a proxy

    matterbridge does run as a user

  15. oli

    Ge0rG: how would that work with Metre? It would independently and only serve the component?

  16. Ge0rG

    oli: I think matterbridge is a huge hack, and I don't know whether it's actually an XMPP *component*

  17. oli

    Ge0rG: it doesn't look like its a component... The question about Metre ws more about understanding how Metre works.

  18. Ge0rG

    oli: AFAIU metre is a thin server to run a component
