Jami: A Versatile Cross-platform Open-Source Peer-to-Peer Decentralized Communication App
I can’t believe I last did a proper post about Jami as far back as 2019 last. I mention it a lot, and it was included run a debate today on my Friendica site, but I realised it does deserve a proper feature post of its own.

Just wish it was working! Used it for about a year and the level of bugs I've seen in #Jami is a total different league than other messaging tools out there. The last straw was when for the second time it completely wiped the chat off the app and I had to sms the contact to get their ID again, but the whole chat history was long gone!
It is the least reliable platform. RFC 2549 is way more reliable:
@Mehrad OK odd, I've really not had that problem. We run two clients on a LAN for our emergency radio network, and I use a client from home to message over the Internet to them. All three are still going fine. It may be something to do with the different client install options i.e. Linux has flatpak vs native installs.
@danie10
I had it installed on Android and as Flatpak. Both clients got affected twice. What I know is that I'm never going to touch that disastrous tool. It really gave me a very hard time each time it screwed up its own local database.
As for you, I strongly suggest a better more stable platform if communication is important.
Being secure and opensource is only good when the software works, otherwise it is useless.
@sumek@smallcircles SimpleX has less features and also no standard user ID whereas Jami has far more features and a standard ID for others to connect to. Jami is full peer-to-peer wheras SimpleX does rely on its distributed servers to establish comms (a bit like Nostr does with relays).
