appreciate the effort, but kinda went overboard with the deets :) I run several prosody XMPP servers so I'm familiar with the underlying tech. what you describe should be feasible with it as well, but there are constant issues with devices not being able to access history, so I was wondering if things were better on your end.

so, based on this, I'll spin up a snikker docker and try it out for a coupla weeks, see what's what. many thanks.

edit: turns out this snikket thing is conversations (standard XMPP client) and prosody (XMPP server) with different branding.
