what's the difference between these two

Projjal, members-only means that people have to be invited to be able to join the room, while moderated means that people have to be voiced to be able to participate (or set as members for that to be permanent)

Participating means here sending messages

ahh, got it

hi. when i select copy on a message, gajim not only puts the content of the message into the clipboard but also additional information like the date and the username.

is there a way to prevent gajim from doing that? it is quite unexpected to copy a message and then have addtional probably private data also put into the clipboard.

It was explicitly requested to have this info, yes. But we can make it a button with more options as well

i am not sure. but as i said, it is unexpected at least for me.

maybe a popup to ask people whether they want to have gajim add the additional data or not when they copy a message for the first time.

Does GaJim support bridging telegrams?

biange200: you need a gateway such as slidgram https://slidge.im ✏

I am using jix.im, Does this support bridging telegrams?

Which server supports bridged telegrams?

biange200: the only public one that I know is movim.eu There are probably others out there.

But you need to trust the server operator, as they can have access to your messages

That's why in general public servers don't offer gateways

thank you

You're welcome

hi, just set up gajim, and getting a feel for the app. tried to join a group, but doesn't seem to work.. wonder if doing something wrong.. i just enter the group link into the box that comes up when press **start/join chat**, and i select group chat. curious what im doing wrong.

should work

what does it say?

ok. i got in.. my bad... the enter button needing some persistent pressing.. thanks

sorry about the dumb questions, but never used gajim before.. just tried to send a PM in the group i joined, as was needed to enter the chat... and it says *manage trust*... i assume i need to create some agreement with the guy im opening up the chat with.. but can't see anywhere/way to do so. looked through my settings..

no thats related to encryption

check the lock icon in the bottom left

does it more say then "manage trust"?

simply try to write a message

sorry, bottom right

ok. yes, i found it.. and i had enabled my omemo encryption (was surprised that wasn't on by default)... and the message has been sent.. thanks for clarity..

there is a option in Accounts -> Privacy

to enable default encryption, but i dont recommend it if you are getting to know the app

ok. thanks for heads up. what would be any reason i wouldn't have it at default encrypted? any use case for using the app unencrypted?

no, its just that this is not whatsapp, we dont control all clients and servers in the environment.

Things break, clients have bugs, and sometimes stuff does not work

if someone is new to the whole thing, i think its more important to start using the app to chat, than encryption your first "hi" ✏

if you know how to disable encryption in case it does not work for a particular contact, and know where to get help, i think its fine to leave it enabled by default
