I’m looking for something to share images and videos between small family group. We use mix of android and apple. Text messages are terrible for images and videos.
We were using telegram, now I want to see what lemmy has to offer. Thank you in advance.
I run my own XMPP server. https://joinjabber.org/ has some introductory information Snickket is a all in one service you can host or your can pay them to host https://snikket.org/start/
XMPP servers and clients are a lot lighter weight than matrix, though I think matrix has more fancy features.
They’re both self hostable and are federated to share the costs of running the network.
With signal there’s a non-profit that needs some pretty steam funding to stay in business. (Though they’re popular so maybe they can get it) https://www.pcmag.com/news/want-to-run-an-encrypted-chat-app-youll-need-50-million-signal-says
