I mostly wanted to share loathers blogpost in which he describes how easy it was for him to create a new client because the api of dc core is easy to understand.
@feld@devSJR well once you add the file storage provider in the settings then you can send larger files, like it could ask you when you attach a file that is bigger than 10mb.
A email hosted could also bring out a paid whitelabled version of delta chat that has a fileserver pre-set.
You could also share those presets (server address and your credentials) over qr code or special link with your friends.
@feld I have a concept for link previews without the security issues of capturing ip addresses: basically make the sender fetch and send the link thumbnail and info
@feld@devSJR there were ideas to support uploading to some kind of file server from dc directly. would not be that complex, maybe like video chat links you could add a fileserver instance.
I personally think chatmail shouldn't offer free file hosting. Storing large files is expensive and anonymous large file uploads could be attractive for criminals.
So should be bring your own fileserver/nextcloud whatever or buy storage.
I have a #Fediverse#ActivityPub question: Why doesn't my client ( #mastodon or #pixelfed ) automatically load the comments from the original page so that all comments are visible? Is there a technical reason?
