I couldn’t stop fiddling with this. I can ring the other user over the internet to make an audio call but I still cannot message. They cannot find me either.
I created a new account on my Debian box and I am now able to message my old account on my phone and my friend I could not message before on their phone. Strange.
UPDATE: My old account that remained on my phone couldn’t discover my friend I message with. I then created a new account on my phone. It discovered my friend and I can message them without problem.
I am simply going to create new accounts on each device with names that are variations of the first. (usernamedebian, usernameandroid, usernamelenovo).
This is not a fix. It is a workaround that allows me to not make Jami the center of all my endeavors.
