XMPP Service Operators - 2022-04-16

A bit late but I was reading March's newsletter and https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0038.html has been obsoleted. Does that mean that "smilies" of yore are gone? Like all the different icon packs in PSI?

What is "smilies of yore"? I don't use psi. But certainly you still can post Smiley's? For me that xep look like it was one of the dawn of jabber and now there are a bunch of better suited xeps that could be used to deliver small binarys like stickers...

😉👍🥳

Menel: things lile https://linux.softpedia.com/get/Communications/Chat/Pidgin-Emoticon-Pack-32054.shtml

by my opinion stickers and smiles is negative tendency started by corp marketologs

also ASCII is more cool ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's not even ASCII!!1 More like, shift-jis

It was also Japanese who 'invented' emoji

It's all the fault of that small country!

Hi there, is this the right place to ask for support on running my own XMPP server?

Andy Hiscock: maybe, usually the server software support group is better

Which one do you use? Openfire? Tigase? Jackal?

OK. Well I'll ive it a go here first. Ive just got my prosody server running and woking fine, when will it federate with other servers?

It seems to be isolated at the moment with no one registered on other servers being able to see it

They need to have a reason to contact it, say if your users adds a contact from their server.

When users from different servers talk, a federation is born :)

yeah. If someone regerstered on server A want to add me, regered on server B tries to add me it says they appear to send the invite to me but I never get it

Andy Hiscock: right, so better go and ask here: xmpp:prosody@conference.prosody.im?join Have a copy of your config at hand to share, no personal stuff inside of course :)

thanks ;)

I'll get there in the end. thanks

Andy Hiscock: try a direct message instead, the sending side will likely see the error in their client
