Telegram channels are sort of unique in that they combine broadcasting read-only messages and having a full-blown chat, like any other group chat. Is there anything similar in federated messengers? For now I have to split up my single community into a microblog on Mastodon and a group chat in Matrix and this is super inconvenient.
I know you can create read-only rooms in Matrix, but there’s no way for people to comment under posts. There’s also a beta support for channels in Delta Chat, but there’s comment section either.
The Movim XMPP client has an integrated blog feature that groups can use to write articles or make announcements, which can be commented on or subscribed to as well.
Cool, thanks! Will give it a try
