The recent Hollo 0.7.3 and 0.7.4 updates have improved interoperability with #Bonfire. The issue where sending/receiving DMs or mutual following with Bonfire wasn't working properly has been resolved.

Very cool, guys! Kudos!

#Bonfire is also working on encrypted DMs similar to Hollo. They’re using MLS, which is similar, but slightly different from the Signal protocol you’re using.

I know it’s a big request, but what are the chances of getting your #E2EE messages to work with Bonfire (and #Emissary) too?

It would be great for the Fediverse to have a unified E2EE standard in 2026.

Let me know if it’s a possibility. I’m happy to tour you through our work so far!
