I just noticed today that Signal (not talking Molly) is now available on F-Droid via the "Guardian" repository.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

Woah that's awesome to hear about the FOSS variant. I'll switch over to that version now

Just make sure to set up UnifiedPush if you want to receive notifications while your Molly database is locked. I recommend the new Sunup UP distributor. I wanted to make a post about it in !unifiedpush@lemmy.dbzer0.com, but never got around to do it.

For Mollysocket, there are a few public instances. molly.adminforge.de is one of them. You can also set up your own on Fly.io, check out this repo: https://github.com/pcrockett/mollysocket-fly
Or you can obviously self-host it on any VPS or hardware that you own

I have my own mollysocket and ntfy, both on tailscale domains with funnel. You can restrict your mollysocket to only your ID.

What makes Sunup different from ntfy? Is it better?

The Ntfy Android app hasn't been updated in almost a year, and in my experience it consumes more battery than Sunup.
