It should work a lot better than it does. For instance, Misskey had a one-line error that prevented Threadiverse posts, fixed by forks such as Firefish and Iceshrimp. You can post to Lemmy by @ ing the community itself. Sometimes federation issues are caused by not pinging everyone across different servers in the reply chain.
I really wish this was just a little bit more smooth, as I would much prefer to interact with you all directly from my RSS Iceshrimp lol
Yeah they actually recommend the Cheogram web client as a way to use the phone gateway on desktop in addition to Dino (and the irritating Jitsi/Jami SIP setup that works if you don’t mind two apps and are attached to your Gajim setup). I had not noticed, or that there is in fact a directory of public Jabber rooms, until today
IIRC you are American (sorry for the insult if not) which means you have a great phone gateway option. I did not: had to contact my telecom company tbqh it took like two months 🤣 🤫
If you want to text normal people, I recommend Cheogram (XMPP) rather than Element. It’s more of an open internet standard, it’s very lightweight and battle tested, and the app I mentioned for Android can be bridged to phone+SMS gateways, there are some default services available or you can be very industrious and make your own
If you’re looking for more examples of software to replace what you have, Pipepipe is probably the best vehicle to directly stick your thumb in Google’s eye. It’s the most frequently-updated NewPipe fork
