Anyone aware of a conversations fork with support for unified push notifications? Or a similar xmpp android app with omemo (just the same as conversations’ support) and unified push notifications support, available through the official f-droid repor or a f-droid repo if not available from the official ones?

BTW, I noticed !xmpp@lemmy.ml community was locked. Any particular reason for that?

    Conversations can be a unified push distibutor: https://unifiedpush.org/users/distributors/conversations/

    …and I’d trust it (battery-wise) with that. I have an old tablet with conversations running without battery restrictions on it, and if I’m not actually picking it up and using it it regularly goes 1-2 weeks on an 80% battery charge before it dies, the whole time giving audible notifications for XMPP messages/calls (which I attend to on other devices).

      Yeap, I noticed it being a unified push distributor, actually in its settings on can find the option to enable it.

      OK, I won’t worry about battery usage then. But the argument about unified push notifications not being useful, but the GCM/FCM actually found useful is somehow hard to understand. But I understand what you’re saying about battery usage. Thanks a lot !

      This is suuuper cool! So you just need a second android device and can run the UnifiedPush on there?
