How well do the signal and whatsapp bridges work? Have you used them yourself? I tried setting up a discord bridge years ago and it was terrible. Is it better now?
I'm just learning this is an option, but Matrix Signal Bridge.
Best I can tell from the documentation, we add the Matrix server bot to a signal account, and it relates messages between the two platforms.
Yes, exactly. That's why it's preferable to use them self-hosted as the E2E of course ends on the server.
They have been,well, complicated and uncomfortable, a few years back but gradually improved. I use both and they are alright. The WhatsApp Bridge works flawlessly for me, no issues at all, the signal bridge has occasional issues that require a restart of the container (as in "once every one to three months"),but that's more on the signal end of things. While they are not ideal they are the best option at the moment.
