A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I guess I don't need their app anymore on my phone, then. More free space to me.
Though using an other instance as mentioned by other comments is also an option, I think the mobile app supports that too, even if it's a bit complicated
Edit: after reading the article, this might really not be their fault. At the end they also encourage the reader to host it themselves. They are not very transparent with what's the actual problem, though..
Yes, the mobile app supports third-party servers, though I wouldn't call it complicated.
If you want to join a room, all you do is type/paste the full URL to it instead of just the name. "Open in App" functionality will also work regardless of the server.
If you want to host one on a third-party server, you just go into the options and replace the "https://meet.jit.si" address with one of the third-party server. Then when you create a room, it will use that server.
Probably complicated isn't the best word, my issue with it is that if I understand it correctly, you would always need to change the server address if you need to connect to a meeting that was created at a different server
If you paste in the complete URL to a meeting ("https://example.org/FourRandomEnglishWords" instead of "FourRandomEnglishWords") or use the "Open in App" link that a meeting's web page shows, then there's no need to.
