Ich fürchte, dass die meisten mit #XMPP überfordert sind da sie nur #WhatsApp und co kennen.

Dear diary,

what a day!
A new version of #Conversations_im and #Quicksy is available.
Additionally, a new version of #Snikket (Android) has been released with much better user experience.
And, not to forget, on Codeberg, a new version of #monocleschat (including stories, feeds and a phone log) is available.

#XMPP is evolving...

25 January 2026

Liebes Tagebuch,

was für ein Tag!
Neue Versionen von #Conversations_im und #Quicksy sind verfügbar.
Außerdem wurde #Snikket (Android) aktualisiert und hat nun ein frisches Design.
Und, nicht zu vergessen: eine neue #monocleschat Version steht auf #Codeberg zur Verfügung (mit Stories, Feeds und Anrufliste).

#XMPP entwickelt sich weiter...

The only relevant feature for any instant messaging app (or social app, for that matter) is: Are my friends using it? People will gladly overlook minor inconsistencies or missing features as long as they can communicate with their friends. We shouldn’t recommend #Signal as a stepping stone before Jabber/XMPP becomes "good enough," if goodness is defined by the number of people using it.

Oh, interessant initiatief! Ik zie dat daar al een paar mooie instant messaging applicaties op staan, maar ik mis nog wel de beschikbare applicaties die ook onderling federeren (zoals Conversations, Monocles en Snikket). Eens zien of we die toegevoegd kunnen krijgen! #XMPP #decentralized #federated

The "Digital Independence Day" has been announced in Germany.

Since there is not recipe for switching to an independent messenger based on XMPP I created a recipe-website which is now also available in English (there might still be some mistakes, since I am not a native speaker).

Planned for future releases:

* support Roster Pre-Approval to further smoothen UX
* manage invites from your web-admin interface
* stand-alone page for creating invites using your account credentials (in case your client doesn’t support that)
* create invite token URIs for password-resets
* accessibility improvements to landing pages

Outside the scope of ejabberd:

* create a guide on how to create invites for a selected set of clients.
* Port to MongooseIM.

Aaaand it’s released! 🥳

Ejabberd 26.01 ships a new module `mod_invites` that lets you create invites to either make it easier for others to add you to their contact list or create new accounts. Or both!

@razortide
Moin aus dem hohen Norden,

ich habe eine Seite zum Einstieg in freies Messaging bzw. Independent Messaging mit #XMPP erstellt, siehe: https://xmpp24.de/

Eventuell ist die ja hilfreich, falls ihr so etwas auch anbietet.
