I've found this #XEP0 but it shows as experimental so I was wondering whether discussions were happening somewhere or if one can add a +1 about it somewhere.
I know it will sound stupid or just not a priority to some people but unfortunately, stickers are a requirement for many of my friends when it comes to #instantMessaging.
@silmathoron Not so well. #Moxxy ( https://moxxy.org/ ) is AFAIK the only client that has implemented XEP-0449. #Movim has their own old system that I think only #Pidgin somewhat understands otherwise, and #Cheogram recently added a sticker-picker but it just shares http_upload images. #xmpp#jabber

Contrary to the confusing title, XEP-0449 is primarily describing a way to distribute sticker packs via #XMPP. Actually sending a sticker to someone uses standard file transfers.
Rather than supporting XEP-0449 sticker packs that don't exist, #Cheogram is compatible with the same stickers #Signal uses which are widely available. You can add sticker packs yourself, and save stickers you receive.
@mattj
Thanks for that information.
If I understand the XEP correctly, since it also includes hashes for the stickers, there should be no incompatibility between it and Cheogram's implementation, right? I.e. could Cheogram simply update their system to follow the XEP without major refactoring? @kris
@mattj@silmathoron Having just tried the Sticker installation on Cheogram I would say a more stream-lined and integrated installation procedure is vital and I think the video you shared speaks for itself :ablobcatsweatsip:
