Where to find it

Reference

What do the choices mean?

XMPP address / JID

bob@dinox.im is an example chat address: bob is the account name, dinox.im the provider. JID is the technical term. Looking like email does not automatically make it an email inbox.

Server / provider

The service your account connects to and which routes messages.

MUC / room

A group chat with its own address and access rules.

MUJI

The method for organising group calls through XMPP rooms.

Fingerprint

A character sequence for comparing a key. Compare all of it, not only the beginning and end.

TLS

Encrypts a connection to a server. End-to-end encryption additionally protects message content between devices.

Subscription

Depending on context, permission to see online status, a feed subscription or an MQTT topic subscription. These three are independent.

Local

On this computer or in this DinoX data directory. Not automatically on the server or other devices.
