Rooms are new and only manyverse supports them so far. The new rooms 2.0 is based on go-ssb and there is also a go-ssb pub. With planetary we use go-ssb in the ios app but the older js pubs in the cloud. Source: over 2 years ago

Manyverse is a great app, one of several compatible ones which use the secure scuttlebutt protocol. For ios another open source one is https://planetary.social/ which I wrote. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
