minus-squareqweertz (they/she)linkfedilinkEnglish5•2 days agoWell, if you didn’t know, Molly is a soft fork of the Signal Android client. But, I think both support making local backups of your chats. I do so daily and keep two copies. These get synced in real time to my little NAS and/or my PC/Laptop
minus-squareGoldenQuetzallinkfedilink2•2 days agoThanks, I do use Molly but never occured to me to use Syncthing to make a local backup copy. Great idea.
minus-squareqweertz (they/she)linkfedilink2•edit-22 days agoGlad to be of help! I personally really like Syncthing, since it makes implementing a resilient decentralised backup strategy quite easy. Though I would recommend you go with “Syncthing-Fork”, as iirc the “vanilla” app was put into maintenance mode or smth like that
