minus-squareValmond@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-220 days agoThanks. So the VPS acts as a jump start or bootstrap and then it’s not used any more? If so, then I must say nice job. If not then it’s kind of a not so decentralised, right?

I made this from scratch lol

Any pointers on how that works :-D ?
Homeserver is essentially a distributed chat relay so clients post messages to rooms and the server relays those messages to its peers
And the server is where?
