Is this a client or is Dino also running a chat server/issuing accounts etc? I used to use pidgin/adium/finch back when google & facebook supported XMPP, but I'm not sure what I'd do with a client now.
Crucially: If I have Dino, can I chat with any of my friends? Or do I need to persuade them to install Dino & create an account somewhere first?
- boudin 7y agoDino is a xmpp client, so no server. You have to create an account on a xmpp server to use it, which you can do on a public server or you can install your own server otherwise. Your friends needs a xmpp account somewhere (not required to be on the same domain) and can use any xmpp client to chat with you.
- vertex-four 7y agoThere’s a good many public XMPP servers, or you could run one for yourself and your friends (I recommend Prosody, it works pretty much out of the box for that use case). If they have any XMPP client on any server, you can talk to them.
