        @wally Correct, Cinny does work on focal very well. But right now, we will not have newer Cinny features.

        If I find some time, I will try to do some UT-only bug fixes. And I will keep trying to look into making the newer version to work on UT.

          @mschmids Since some changes in mattix sdk cause the problems, it may well be that element web faces the same issues as cinny, because it likey uses that as well. Just a guess, though.

            Just to follow-up on the original post (@Moem, @danfro): the Signal bridge bot at tchncs.de currently works again 🙂 . They managed to block the spam.

            A single addition. The Signal bridge bot replies with a QR-code and a sgnl://-URL. My primary Signal device had some trouble scanning the QR-code - it got picked up as I was just about to give up.
            I suppose the URL can also be used for linking the devices, so if anyone has done that successfully, it may be worth posting here.

                Signal bridge seems to be down...

                    Matrix is having massive issues and are rebuilding their database from backups. If the bridge is dependent on Matrix.org servers in any way that could be the cause.

                        On a more general note: I would advise to use the tchncs server, rather than Matrix.org. In my experience it's much more stable, faster and you don't have problems with the bridge-server communication if you use the tchncs bridge as well

                              Just wanted to mention that I discovered recently that it is possible to use signal on Ubports, through the app "molly FOSS" in waydroid, that can be linked as a secondary device to your main acount. It works pretty smoothly (although you don't get notifications for new messages) and it is even possible to do video calls with it which is beyond expectations. Of course end to end encryption is preserved.

                                @pparent Good addition! I had no idea Molly could be used as a secondary client, I've only ever used it as a primary client. Thanks for mentioning it.

                                  The Signal gateway for XMPP is also working again, in case someone prefers that.

                                  Fairphone 5 (Not yet installed UT on it though)

                                    Hi, just want to let you know, that I managed to make the newer Cinny version to work with our old morph Webengine. This took downgrading of matrix-dsk and some patching. The RC for Cinny UT based on Cinny 4.10.0 can be downloaded here https://github.com/Danfro/cinny-ut/releases.
                                    I made releases for focal (.1RC) and for noble (.nRC).

                                    Here it seems to work fine, please let me know if you hit any new issues. I know, we still have plenty of old issues.
