   23 is the number of currently active #chatmail relays we heart about by now. Only 6 are listed at https://chatmail.at/relays to complicate ongoing state-level blocking attempts. Please keep setting up #chatmail relays -- and thanks to all the early adopters and carers!

   July 2025 some key contributors will do sessions in #Lille, France at @passthesaltcon
   and discuss the state of efforts to scale #deltachat #chatmail and #webxdc to billions of people and bots, without any central points of control.

     @pancake @dexternemrod fwiw we do have number of push notifications delivered: 12-15 million per month (400-500k per day). Two months ago it was 9-10 million per month. The numbers reflect everyone who uses and opts into Google play, iOS push notifications and uses a chatmail relay. Fdroid users, non-chatmail users, desktop-only users are not reflected in these numbers. Note that push notifications are delivered for each incoming message, so again not easy to draw user numbers from that.

     @dexternemrod @delta thats what i though, despite how nice would be to have such thing for statistical purposes I guess it’s fine to focus on amount of registered relays :) cool indeed

     feld repeated this.

     Well ... you could aggregate the number of accounts from those relays. But because the only connection between the relays are the send/received messages, there is no centram entity to know those numbers. So Beautiful!

     @delta It'd be awesome to have that on your yunohost.

     @opensourceopenmind @lps chatmail is a federated instant messaging relay more.than am email server. Chatmail relays are wholly unqualified to act as a regular email server because most email clients facilitate cleartext mail, and use the servers IMAP folders for showing an inbox. Chatmail relays only transmit end-to-end encrypted messages with metadata minimization, and constantly remove messages once received. If needed we are happy to answer any questions for people affiliated with #yunohost

     @lps @delta It was suggested but Yunohost devs did not accept as they already have a mailserver included. You can find the issue on their Github repo.

     @delta I completely understand, hopefully this can inspire someone with the skills to contribute 🤞

     @lps @passthesaltcon it sure sounds like very worthwhile but there is no one we know working on it. Almost all of our efforts are community-driven and we have few funding currently so we can not just hire somebody to do it. Please be aware about the very wide breadth of our developments, covering all platforms, server deployments and a new Web-container P2P communication model. It's all done by around 10-15 active contributors and we can't go in all directions at once.

     @delta @passthesaltcon I've brought this up in the past, but would this be possible to package for #yunohost ?

     it could go a long way to have people install and run these to help expand the network. I'd love to run one, but don't really have the chops. I'm likely not alone.
