completely blind computer geek, lover of science fiction and fantasy (especially LitRPG). I work in accessibility, but my opinions are my own, not that of my employer. 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.

@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.

@MariahL @pixelate @jonathan859 It does. I just find dealing with QR Codes so, so fiddly.

@jonathan859 Remember that it wants to manage its own letsencrypt certificates. So you have to proxy both http and https for it. You can't just rewrite https. That got me.

@pixelate @jonathan859 It's so refreshing to use a thing that's not a bloated web app honestly. And if you set up the contact list for blind folks during install it's fully accessible. Even reads out messages as they come in.

@jonathan859 The web console is fully accessible. For apps, I'm using miranda-ng on Windows, and Monal on IOS and mac.
