@delta I just saw that you can now add several relay servers to one account, that's neat! But I remember that accounts get automatically deleted if you don't talk to them for some time, how is that solved for secondary backup relays I might add and never use?

in reply to Delta Chat • • •ok, nice! So if my main server explodes before I switched, I would have to send all of my contacts a message from the other server to make sure they can contact me?
And secondary question: When will the Flatpack Desktop Version be updated with this feature?

in reply to Delta Chat • •@Delta Chat Is it okay to add more relays and keep using the original one as the primary?
Once the primary goes down or has a temporary hiccups, can I continue the conversation and replies will be addressed to the backup relay?
I am trying to figure out if adding another relay to my account profile is enough or if I should do something else to make my chats more proof to single relay failures.

in reply to Peter Vágner • • •@pvagner You don't need to keep relays in reserve. It doesn't help right now with the 2.33 releases.
If your current relay goes down, just add a new relay and message your chats. Everybody will use your new relay then.
Early 2026 we work towards another bigger multi-relay release , and then it will make sense to add relays preliminarily, so you won't have to worry about any server breakdown or shutdown, and chatting will just always succeed.
