This morning nine.testrun.org was briefly unavailable, some network problem. A good time to remind everyone to add a second relay to your #deltachat app: 1. Go to https://chatmail.at/relays randomly choose one of the listed relay pages and copy the invitation code to your clipboard 2. In delta chat settings go to advanced/relays and tap &quot;add relay&quot; and paste the invitation code 3. That&#39;s it. If one relay is unavailable you still can receive and send messages. https://delta.chat/en/2026-03-31-zero#maximizing-availability-and-resilience-through-multi-path-delivery

@delta if I add it to my phone but I have a few devices I haven't updated that are linked to that account is it gonna put me in a state where I can't have everything in sync?

@delta So now I have to rely on not one, but two separate third-party entities when I only had to have to have an email address to use Delta Chat before? What kind of nonsense did you get into to go down that absolutely tortured path?

@delta I don’t understand how to do this. If I choose the second server from the top, open the page, I get several links to create a new mail account, but nothing that looks to me like I could paste it into that relay text field. Or am I missing something? I am blind and using a screen reader.

@delta interesting. And adding a relay works smooth. 👍😁

@delta 3. Send something to your contacts / groups so they can get your new relay list and actually reply.

I have 4 different relays on my device. 😄

@delta In the Android app it specifies 1 relay is used for sending, meaning I can still receive messages if I have added multiple relays and my "main" one is unreachable but I cannot send messages. Now you're saying that if I have multiple relays added I can send as well as receive despite the"main" relay being unreachable?

@delta "randomly choose one of the listed relay pages" May I suggest making this a one button action? Humans are bad at choosing something randomly.
