    Thanks for the recommendation!

    I’m trying to move a friend groupchat away from discord and there are users on all those platforms.

    Are you hosting your own server? How’s it working with multi devices one one account (phone and desktop usually)? I’ve experimented with prosody a bit and it seemed like only one machine was able to receive message at one time, so the phone and computer quickly got out of sync.

    Sorry for asking too many questions, it’s hard to find these things easily.

      We have a private Prosody server on a VPS. The device issue may have been a setting you needed to change on your clients. By default there’s a built in delay when sending notifications to multiple devices, so whatever is seen as your active device will get the updates in real time and the others won’t. I have all mine set to no delay and all the messages sync instantly on PC and phone, assuming the phone isn’t doing any type of power or data saving that messes things up.
