I’m looking for something like Snikket or Prosody, but kids-oriented. I DON’T want my <10 daughter using Meta Messenger Kids! I’ll tell my friends to setup for their kids, too. I’d have no access to anything, so it’s secure (mom and dad not snooping per se), but the downside is minimal parental controls. Though, no one to really add either.

I’ll host or pay for it, IDC. It doesn’t seem like there is much out there either.

JusTalk seemed nice when I found out but apparently China owned and so no more secure. I/we need better options!

    snikket! you can host it yourself or let jmp run it for you!

    been using it for years after matrix was heavy and hard to maintain

    snikket is a docker!

        Yes! I run Snikket already for my phone app! Cam you run side by side instances? I’ve never really tried. I’ll have to look at how to run a domain that way.

        Anyway, I’m trying Matrix (FluffyChat) but being new to Matrix, not sure how to point to my own subdomain for the app to connect.

          For Matrix, what server software are you hosting and what’s your subdomain setup? When logging in, you just enter the domain behind your username (e.g. use example.com if your username is @user:example.com)

          Edit: not sure if Snikket supports multiple domains, but its upstream, the Prosody server, does that just fine
