Personally that's okay with me cause I don't need much of the features.

And I plan to mainly do 1 on 1 calls with a single friend (cause I don't think moving roughly 5-8 people will work), so not worried too much about server features

I took a look at Stoat, but they don't have a mobile client ready unfortunately(T_T)

Thank you for the suggestiom though

I saw that they had unofficial builds for their mobile clients (with iOS being unmaintained since 2017) and the android one being an F-Droid repo. Have you had experiences with either?

I use Molly as my main app for Signal!! (I don't use GMS), but considering it's the most "tech noob friendly" option I've seen, I might get my friend to do that for their Android tablet

Does Snikket + XMPP require set up on my end? I'm not the most technical person so I'm worried I'll over-complicate things for myself...

This was my original proposal, but my friend is worried about messing up their Signal acc that could render it useless (they've seen me brick my laptop while installing Linux Mint...)

(They use signal on a phone, but want to use their android tablet and worried about messing up the linking device part)

My friend lives in the UK while I'm based in Austral-Asia region, and I'm honestly not tech savvy enough for P2P or self hosting...

I also unfortunately don't have the best WiFi (MediaTek on a Lenovo Laptop in the great 2026...)

I saw a lot of folk saying the mobile client was still maturing, so I wasn't 100% sure if that's enough for just voice chat

When I think of a mobile client I think of a native app (mainly in app stores) or a github for android (bit of a foss user lol)
