@robertmx even without those improvements, #xmpp is significantly better performing than matrix.

Joining a channel/group will only take a few seconds (~5-10) even in large channels.

Of course this can even be improved further, like @mattj said :)

@debacle @daniel

@cwebber I use #Bibuomi ( #IRC to #XMPP gateway ) to access whatever IRC channel ( or network for that matter ) I need to ..

So .. basically, hum .. no, I don't get that much chair time because I do IRC from my phone using #Conversations

Pretty cool actually 😎

Looks like all three of my old 2000s-era #Jabber / #XMPP accounts are gone.

The jabber.org server no longer recognizes my account there. jabber.unoc.net and programmer-art.org don't exist at all.

RIP 🪦

@daniel It's also good to know that you can attend remotely, details will be shown on the wiki, usually shortly before the summit.

#XMPP #summit

Just over three weeks remain until the 27th #XMPP Summit takes place in Brussels. If you’re planning to attend but haven’t registered yet, please make sure to add your name to the wiki by the end of this week: https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Conferences/Summit_27

If you’re an XMPP developer or spec author and weren’t planning to attend, I’d strongly encourage you to reconsider

For those who can’t make it to Brussels but will be in Berlin on Wednesday, February 12th, we’ll be discussing the Summit at that week’s XMPP Meetup

Is there a way to set up a service on a server that listens for incoming XMPP messages and forwards them via ntfy? 📡 My wife uses an iPhone, and unfortunately, she doesn’t receive notifications for group chats. 😅 Looking for a clever workaround to keep her in the loop! 💡

#XMPP #ntfy #Notifications #TechSolutions #iPhone #jabber

@jacqueline Or you can help freedom-respecting #XMPP clients like https://prose.org/ (try it at https://app.prose.org/) and https://movim.eu/ 🙃

You can now add hashtags to your #xmpp / #jabber channels on search.jabber.network! Just add a series of hashtags to the end of your channel's description.

Note that we maintain an allowlist of tags here: https://search.jabber.network/tags/ Tags which are not on that list are ignored.

Suggest new tags we should add/allow in the replies to this thread!

This release also marks the implementation of a feature people have been asking since forever: Search #xmpp / #jabber channels by language. You can now do that!

To search for all channels in french, you could type "lang:fr" in the search bar. Like this: https://search.jabber.network/search?q=lang%3Afr

"lang:foo" can be combined with other search terms.

More information on how to search by language is found in the FAQ: https://search.jabber.network/docs/faq

You can reach me via DECT 85650 on #38c3.

Happy to meet and talk about #xmpp on iOS and #XMPP in general.

@genodeftest @stefan
#xmpp ist außerdem deutlich leichtgewichtiger als Matrix, sowohl auf dem Server als auch die Clients selbst.

@genodeftest @stefan falsch, #Conversations auf Android ist super gepflegt, wir pflegen #Monal für IOS/MacOS sehr aktiv und #Gajim für Windows und Linux wird auch sehr aktiv gepflegt.

Ich persönlich nutze #xmpp seit vielen Jahren mit all meinen Freunden und es funktioniert einwandfrei.

@daniel That sounds pretty serious. I should probably warn some of my friends who downloaded the Conversations APK from F-Droid once and never updated since then. #xmpp

Family dinners are a good opportunity to explain that there are other messaging systems than #Whatsapp.
(Having had to try this app out, its interface is completely rubbish, I couldn't understand how it works 🤦‍♀️ )

Show them what you can do with Conversations, Snikket, Monal, Siskin or your preferred #xmpp client and explain the advantages of decentralization (as with email, by the way).

Season’s Greetings

If you run a public #XMPP server can you look up what percentage of connected clients are Blabber? I’m wondering if the 15% reported by jabberfr.org is a weird outlier. On our server (conversations.im) the number is closer to 4-5% but we are obviously biased towards Conversations users.

I'm attending the #38C3 in Hamburg. Any #xmpp people there?

Good holidays to everyone! And to all who have to work during this time, keep up your good work!

News:
From today until the 31. December monocles chat is available for free in the Playstore:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.monocles.chat&pcampaignid=web_share

Feel free to chat with us on XMPP xmpp:support@conference.monocles.eu

#monocleschat #monocles #xmpp #privacy #chat #messenger

I just saw that #Conversations and #monocleschat seem to be currently available for free in the Google Play Store.
Thanks @daniel and @monocles for this great offer.

This might be a good chance to onboard Google Play users to #XMPP.

But do not forget: You can also use #fdroid or #Codeberg to get those apps.

I was investigating about bridges #xmpp to #irc I did it but I think the effort is not necessary, it's better just create an account on libera and that's.

@vel Please spend your time and effort improving existing #XMPP clients instead -
* Android - Conversations/Quicksy, Cheogram, Monocles Chat
* iOS - Monal/Quicksy, Siskin
* desktop - Gajim, Dino, Poezio
* web - Movim, Libervia, Prose, Converse.js

It will be more useful to more people. You will improve implementations of an existing standard instead of making _yet_ another chat protocol.

There's _zero_ reason all the features you list can't be added to XMPP.

@erebion @dino
The table just listens some common #XMPP apps which are not too complicated for normal users.

If you are looking for a wider range of clients, you can have a look at: https://xmpp.org/software/

But there is no information whether end-to-end encryption is activated by default.
