weechat-matrix VS stickerpicker

I haven't had much occasion to use it (I dipped into a gaming group that used Matrix but quickly fell out of it) but https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix seems mostly adequate if you are a weechat user and just need the text chat features. Feels just like IRC.

I followed this description - weechat matrix github

For a nicely documented and clean Matrix client implementation in Python, see weechat-matrix[1] and the matrix-nio[2] library it's based on. There's also Mirage[3] which is also based on matrix-nio and is a GUI client.

The weechat plugin unfortunately cannot coexist with wee-slack (https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack/issues/812, https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix/issues/248), so if one wants to participate in the Haskell Foundation Slack, or any other Slack (e.g. for work), then Matrix is off limits. Yeah, it's just a bug that will eventually get fixed, but it does make things unnecessarily complicated. :-/

I have installed the weechat client with matrix (https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix) and it is running properly. However, I cannot figure out how to install scripts. Particularly, the upload and download files scripts mentioned in the github page, since they are not in the official list of scripts. How should I proceed?

i just wanted to add some Telegram Stickers with stickerpicker. Unfortunately i always get the SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate error. The reason that i post it here is, that i think it might come ether from a bug or a misconfigured reverse proxy and someone here might already had this issue.

For Element, most people probably use the stickers built into Dimension and that's probably also going to be your default sticker provider on most public home servers. I found the flexibility of Dimension to also be kind of lacking (and Dimension stickers inexplicably don't work on Element Android), so I ultimately went with maunium-stickerpicker. It's not super easy to set up and add stickers to, but it gives you flexibility to add sticker packs from Telegram fairly easily once you figure it out. It unfortunately does not work with Telegram animated sticker packs, however. And you have to manually set it up for each user that wants to use it using the admin API 🤷
