Fandoms: Harry Potter, Discworld, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Buffy, Dead Like Me, Glee, and I'll read fanfic of pretty much anything that crosses over with one of those.

@pvagner @zash Is there a way I could migrate my contacts though? Like how if I change mastodon instances I don’t lose my followers?

@zash Thanks for answering, anyway! Hopefully someone, someday, comes up with a XEP for this. Because having to host xmpp on a subdomain is going to be extremely common I think.

@zash Yeah, that's not what I want. I want to use the same username and password to get messages for fastfinge@interfree.ca and fastfinge@im.interfree.ca. I had to run xmpp on a subdomain because my primary domain runs other services.

@zash Thanks! I don't want to rename; if I set up the SRV record, can I just use both interchangeably?

@matt Thank you!!! That was exactly the answer I needed.

@jonathan859 @FreakyFwoof @pixelate @MariahL You have to open miranda, go to the status menu on the menu bar, find the discord submenu, and set the status to online.

@alexchapman @jdking92 @FreakyFwoof @pixelate @MariahL @jonathan859 Yes. Then it can communicate with people who don't use thrive.

Hey and experts on Mastodon: my XMPP server is im.interfree.ca, and so my JID is fastfinge@im.interfree.ca. However, I would like to alias my JID to fastfinge@interfree.ca. That way my email, jabber, and fediverse id's are all the same. I control the DNS on the entire domain. How can I do this? A quick search isn't finding me a list of clear and straightforward steps.

@jdking92 @FreakyFwoof @pixelate @MariahL @jonathan859 Not really, know. You can talk to anyone on any other service.

@pixelate @jdking92 @FreakyFwoof @MariahL @jonathan859 Yeah, jabber and xmpp are the same thing.

@jdking92 @FreakyFwoof @pixelate @MariahL @jonathan859 If you go into options, then go to plugins in the tree view, there's a list of available plugins. Whatsapp is one of them.

@jdking92 @FreakyFwoof @pixelate @MariahL @jonathan859 You can get an xmpp account at xmpp.is if you don't want to host a server yourself.

@jdking92 @FreakyFwoof @pixelate @MariahL @jonathan859 Not really. Whatsapp doesn't use xmpp at all. Xmpp is just an open messaging protocol; XMPP is to Whatsapp what Mastodon is to Twitter.

@jonathan859 @FreakyFwoof @pixelate @MariahL You can also go to options, then plugins, and it has an interface that will install them for you.

@jonathan859 @FreakyFwoof @pixelate @MariahL Probably. You have to close Miranda before copying those files.

@MariahL @FreakyFwoof @pixelate @jonathan859 Amusingly Facebook is the only thing I can't get working. Discord, Teams, Steam, XMPP, Whatsapp, everything else is fine. But Facebook just won't sign in.
