    hi is thi the place where i can ask this question: can i estaplish news channels in xmpp similar to those in telegram. pictures,sound,video,puplic joiner can join without restrictions...

  2. MattJ

    Yes, you can do that

  3. MattJ

    If you want the channel to be read-only (so normal people cannot post) then you may need to use an advanced client to configure the permissions, e.g. Gajim can do it

  4. Licaon_Kter

    MattJ: moderated and no voice?

  5. MattJ

    Sure

  6. Licaon_Kter

    No, I mean, that's the settings that replicate a "telegram channel"?

  7. MattJ

    Apart from some UX differences, yes

  8. xmppnewsmaker

    Thanks for your help. I will see gajim and try to confgure my channel. my next step will be to find a method to automatically replicate some telegram channel on my xmpp channel.

  9. xmppnewsmaker

    if succeeded then I can publish on telegram channel with my android phone and the xmpp channel will republish automatically. this is my final goal. I will start by establishing the xmpp channel on a good server and copy the news to it manually.

  10. MattJ

    I think matterbridge can probably do what you want, regarding replication of messages

  11. xmppnewsmaker

    i will test it and write here my results, i feel optimistic, thank you for you suggestions.

  12. xmppnewsmaker

    please tell me if there is a better place to publish the results of my tests. so that others can use xmpp this way. this will offer more support to xmpp which is more support to freedom

    xmppnewsmaker: make a blogpost? :)

  14. xmppnewsmaker

    i will

    xmppnewsmaker, if you want a hosted solution, then consider a movim instance, e.g. https://movim.eu/ movim simplifies the process of publishing your posts/articles over both normal channel (MUC - multi user channel) as well as pubsub (publish-subscribe) functionality the official movim MUC/channel is movim@conference.movim.eu

    How is everybody here dealing with registration? In-band or web-based? What are you using for a captcha? I'm trying to figure out the optimal way to enable public registration without enabling spam.
