devlug.de is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
#Jabber/#XMPP ist das #Fediverse des #InstantMessaging und das schon seit 1999 🙂
Der #Datenschutz hängt in erster Linie von Deiner Instanz ab und von den Instanzen Deiner Kontakte, ähnlich wie bei #Mastodon und Co.
Aber i.d.R. werden alle #Chat-Nachrichten Ende-zu-Ende verschlüsselt (#OMEMO, das gleiche Verfahren wie bei Signal), sodaß zumindest der Nachrichteninhalt für Server-Admins geheim bleibt. Ob Du verschlüsselst oder nicht, bleibt Dir überlassen.
Beides jedoch auch zentrale Lösungen. D.h. man hat hier auch eine Abhängigkeit zu einem Unternehmen / Organisation.
Es gibt auch dezentrale Lösungen, ähnlich wie hier und wie man es von E-Mail kennt.
Hier mal ein Beispiel zum einlesen:
https://anoxinon.media/blog/xmpp1/
I'm not aware of a single static #Jabber/#XMPP server. Somebody needs to write such a thing!
Both #ejabberd by @ejabberd and #prosody by @prosodyim are pretty easy to install and maintain. Esp. if using distro packages.
If docker is an option, there is #snikket by @snikket_im, a pre-configured prosody.
Maybe check #openfire by @news or #tigase by @tigase? Never tried them.

Instead of starting each year a new protocol for chats, what about spending a bit of love to #XMPP? Maybe we can get XEP-0449 into draft state one day :3
Otherwise we will end here: https://xkcd.com/927/
Was muss ich in ejabberd eigentlich konfigurieren, damit ich bei https://compliance.conversations.im/server/xmpp.molthagen.de/ einen grünen Haken bei "XEP-0313: Message Archive Management (extended usage)" bekomme?
Ich habe das bis jetzt nicht herausfinden können...
Das ist der letzte grüne Haken, der mir noch fehlt...
@swetland Probably would take longer but I think developers (myself VERY much included) are bad at estimating 😆
I've often wondered if #irc or #xmpp could have been Slack/Discord with better clients.
In some ways, an irc client with a built in pastebin/imagebin is pretty close
(I am sure someone will correct my over simplification 🙃)
It’s been almost a decade since I wrote a blog post on the State of Mobile XMPP in 2016. Time to start working on an update.
The situation has only improved since then, and #XMPP has matured into a solid, feature-rich protocol for federated instant messaging
Let's calculate the intersection:
"free" ∩ "federated" ∩ "large groups" = { #Jabber/#XMPP, Matrix }
With free = "free software incl. realistic self-hosting option",
federated = "no need to create an account on different instances" and
large groups = "includes administration and moderation tools".
More options:

Don't hold your breath, but the future is bright 🙂
Some people are working on so-called "spaces", i.e. multiple rooms, that can be administered together. E.g. same users and permissions for all rooms in a space.
https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0503.html
The terminology feels strange to me. To me multiple rooms are not a "#space", but a "#flat" or a "#palace", depending on number of rooms 🤷
You wan't to move from #Discord to #Movim and #XMPP, but you really miss one or two core feature?
I'll work the next few weeks on some of those missing features to help you and your community to migrate ✨
So what do you miss the most?
| 🎙️ Audio rooms (Teamspeak/Mumble like): | 12 |
| 📹 Video calls with several friends (like Jitsi): | 11 |
| 👾 Spaces (like Discord servers, grouped rooms): | 56 |
| 👀 Something else, add it in the comments bellow: | 1 |
Closes in 11:22:53
@mochabeau @Ashedryden well, maybe #Zulip? Or #DeltaChat, if you really want end-to-end encryption of group chats (but no control of roles)? #XMPP also has good group delegation, but the #OMEMO encryption can have less reliable delivery in groups, with various members disappearing for spells of time.
We have released a new version of Fluux Messenger (v0.12.1):
https://github.com/processone/fluux-messenger/releases/tag/v0.12.1
Enjoy !
Nice, https://compliance.conversations.im/test/xep0485/ is now testing for XEP-0485: PubSub Server Information. That’s gonna boost adoption, I hope. Thanks @daniel, I suppose!
Esp. team A/V calls (2..10 users) are waited for desperately. My boss moved the company from @bigbluebutton to to MS-Teams, because of perceived bad video quality and audio problems in #BBB 😞
Spaces would be nice to have, but easier to live without.
Looks like we'll have to work a bit faster on the massive audio/video call and Spaces features 👀

Estic provant l'aplicació #Monal (#xmpp) per a #iOS en la seva versió 6.4.17 (1072) perquè els seus programadors l'han millorat molt des de la darrera vegada que la vaig fer anar.
Per a provar-la a fons he instal·lat un servidor #ejabberd versió 26.1.0 en el meu domini personal spla.cat. Efectivament, Monal ha millorat moltíssim, funcionen perfectament les notificacions, OMEMO activat i configurat automàticament i per defecte etc. Molt bé tot. 👏🏼✅
Update: 1.13.0 had a packaging bug not affecting what was uploaded to pypi, so here is a 1.13.2 https://blog.mathieui.net/slixmpp-1-13-2.html
#xmpp
Monal 6.4.18 (Build 1077, PR #1555) released.

For A/V calls, #XMPP itself does the signalling, while the payload is going either directly from device to device, or, if one or multiple clients are behind firewall/NAT, a TURN server is used.
Most public servers should do that. Check on https://compliance.conversations.im/ if XEP-0215 is supported by your server.
Btw. which clients have you tried?
I never tried Signal or Whatsapp, but I'm on free and federated #Jabber/#XMPP since 2014. I came late to the party — Jabber exists since 1999. At some point, Google chat federated with Jabber, but they stopped it, because #BigTech does bigtech things.
Bridges from Jabber to Whatsapp and Signal do exist, i.e. #slidge, but because WA and Signal are anti-federation, the bridge can only work, if one has an account on WA/Signal 😞
Anyway, all friends and family are on Jabber now.
What I love about #Conversations_im as a #UnifiedPush distributor—aside from #XMPP being a reliable, secure, and efficient protocol—is that it comes with a healthy dose of decentralization.
Sure, you can technically self-host a Sunup instance, but will you? XMPP already offers thousands of providers out of the box.
RE: https://fosstodon.org/@prosodyim/116023920812720509
**Important consideration if you are running a XMPP server.**
If you are using Ejabberd you need to be at least on 25.08 or have mod_s2s_dialback enabled until you can upgrade. Otherwise your connection to other XMPP servers will fail.
Starting 11 February!
There are IM apps mostly pushed by a few loud enthusiasts on Mastodon, and then there is #XMPP, which is used in the real world.
For example:
• Evacuating people from battlefields in Afghanistan: That’s XMPP.
• Shipping metric fuck tons of cocaine across the globe: That’s XMPP.
Unfortunately spam and abuse - like anywhere on the Internet - can be a problem in public channels on the Jabber/XMPP network.
That's why the next version of #Conversations_im is combining ban and message deletion (moderation) into one step.
Let's hope you won't need that functionality very often.
I've been playing around with #XMPP, so I set up a group chat where XMPP and fediverse nerds can live chat the #Superbowl on Sunday.
If you've been thinking about trying XMPP this might be your excuse. If you couldn't care less about the Superbowl, I get that too. (I may have a conflict, myself.)
Let me know if anything isn't working correctly. (And, boosts appreciated to help spread the word.)

And if you're already set up with XMPP this may work (hand-written; no promises): xmpp://superb-owl@conference.chat.twomile.com?join
De fedivers de la #MissatgeriaInstantània només n'hi ha dos: #DeltaChat i #xmpp
Però Delta Chat té millor aplicació, de llarg, tant per #iOS com per #Android i també per l'escriptori dels diferents sistemes operatius.
