Thoughts on Matrix, XMPP, and reliability [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Which client is it? Maybe it does not speak MUC-MAM (message archive management for group chats)? What are the MAM settings of the server? E.g. #prosody by @prosodyim defaults to one week for expiry, IIRC.
When I started using #Jabber (≈ 2014), reliability was not very good, indeed. Nowadays it is 100 % for me.
Compared to Matrix, I'm only missing "XEP-0503: Server-side spaces" and animated stickers in #XMPP 🙂
text/plain.Im Ausland / auf #Reisen ist ein Smartphone jedoch sehr hilfreich.
Erst einmal wegen der Möglichkeit eine Offline Karte zu verwenden (via #OSM). Gerade beim #Wandern durch den Dschungel kann es hin und wieder sehr praktisch sein - besonders wenn man den Weg nicht erkennt.
Die zweite APP ist ein Messenger. Einmal um miteinander zu telefonieren, aber auch für Videocalls in die Heimart. Dies lief mit #Conversations einfach super!
Vielen Dank an den Entwickler! Selbst mit relative schlechtem Netz lief alles sehr gut! Wir haben zum telefonieren ausschließlich Audiocalls via Conversations verwendet.
The next #XMPP Developer Sprint is coming up.
📍 Wikimedia Offices, Berlin, Germany
📆 Friday, May 23rd - Sunday, May 25th 2025
❓ Sprints (aka Hackathons) are a great opportunity for interoperability testing, planning new features, meeting other XMPP developers and generally having a good time.
BYOP (Bring your own Project)
Conversations 2.18.2 is available on Google Play and has client side mitigations for a server side security issue that was recently discovered and fixed in #ejabberd¹ and #OpenFire²
Go update your server. But just in case that takes a minute Conversations has your back too!
This release also fixes an issue with restoring (importing) backups on recent Android versions.

Getting started with XMPP/Jabber and PGP for federated, encrypted messaging
This is a short thread where I explain how I started using the XMPP protocol and PGP encryption for secure messaging. I am not a security expert, but I am a mathematician and I am confortable with the Linux command line. This guide is for people who want to use PGP for secure messaging easily. You will need to be okay with typing commands into the Linux command line in order to do this, but I will tell you exactly what to enter.
Part 1: XMPP
Mastodon is like email, but for social media. You sign up for an account with a server, and then you can talk with any other accounts that are signed up on other servers, as long as your servers are getting along. (No one wants emails from the sketchy spam server, and we want to be able to choose between Yahoo, Gmail, etc.) XMPP (a.k.a. Jabber) is the same thing for text messaging.
Just like signing up for an email/Mastodon account, you need to sign up for an account. You can find a list of servers at https://list.jabber.at/ and will probably at least need to provide an email addess when making an account.
Once you have made an account, you need a client. On Linux, I've been having a good time using Dino (https://dino.im/). You can then enter your account name and password to log into your XMPP account and start chatting! There are both public rooms and you can also message directly with your friends.

Gajim 2.0.0 has been released 🎉
Gajim migrated its user interface toolkit to GTK 4, which brings performance improvements and sets the ground for great features to follow. ⏩
Additionally, this release brings improved image previews, better tools for fighting spam, and much more.
All of these changes were only possible by touching a lot of Gajim’s code base, and we appreciate all the feedback we got from you. ❤️

Gajim 2.0.0 main window showing a chat
I made a simply Grafana dashboard to show some metrics of the Pimux.de XMPP server. Quite interesting to see the usage of my server varying during the day.
I’m still happy to see so many people using XMPP on a regular basis!

A Grafana dashboard with 6 panels. One of them shows two big numbers: 675 online users and 6090 registered users. The other 5 panels are showing a graph within 24 hours: size of file storage, about 23 GB. Online users between 600 and 1200. Registered users 6091 dropping to 6090. Client-To-Client connection for IPv4 and IPv6 and Server-To-Server Connections.
