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.

@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.

@MariahL @FreakyFwoof @pixelate @jonathan859 So it handles them pretty well. The problem is the awful hCaptcha thing. As usual with discord. If it fails, you need to log in with your browser, do the captcha crap, then log in again with Miranda, and it should work.
