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.
Did you know that movim was the first XMPP client to support Stories? ✨
From all your devices you can share your everyday moments with your contacts through photos that disappear after 24 hours. 😊
Everything is stored on your own XMPP account and the feature has been standardized as a protocol extension: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0501.html 🔒
It looks like a few other XMPP clients are looking to integrate it in the future 👀

Die #monitoring Software "Uptime Kuma" nutzen mit Benachrichtigungen über #xmpp ?
Funktioniert (noch) nicht nativ, aber über einen kleinen Umweg mit #webhook
Wie das geht, steht hier:

Und aussehen könnte es so:
@debacle @raucao @prosodyim I'm OK with all these hostnames being split up in XMPP, but as to using all those non-443 ports... sooner or later, a "standard" #XMPP server will surely heavily use ALPN and port 443.
I tried out the #ooni network tester app from #FDroid. I have good connectivity here in #Malaysia, both from a cellular SIM card connection, and the monastery wifi (a fiber internet connection).
But alas, the Ooni tests don't test for #XMPP, in their instant messaging apps testing! Only #Facebook, #Signal, Telegram, and Facebook Messenger are tested for, apparently. I do have trouble with XMPP, on the fiber internet here. Insidiously, brief XMPP text messages can be sent, but any video memo (say, 40MB in size, about 4 min worth of video) will only 1% upload, then get stuck. Attempts to resend will keep getting stuck. It seems that the XMPP traffic gets throttled to nothing after a small amount of data is sent: say, 400kb or so. I *can* send these video memos from my cellular SIM card connection.
I wish Ooni could have warned me about this, as it caused a friend to not receive a video memo for about 10 days, until I caught on to what was happening.
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.

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.

After the Code of Conduct and the Mediation process, the Core Governance document is now ready for wider feedback.
This document describes what JoinJabber does and what we aim to achieve. It also describes what our values are and a way to make proposals to the entire community.
Feel free to share and read/respond to the document.

Over a year ago, I wrote ”A month using XMPP (using Snikket) for every call and chat”.
For something like 15 months now, Sandra and I have used XMPP via @snikket_im for probably 99.9% of our calls, messages, and video chats, running on an Intel NUC.
We both use the Snikket mobile app, and I also use @dino and @profanity in Linux.
Perhaps a fun holiday / weekend project, if you want family-friendly, self-hosted, #E2EE communications?

Gajim 2.1.1 has been released 🥳
This release brings layout improvements to Gajim’s Start Chat dialog, an improved message search, and includes fixes for some issues with Message Displayed Synchronization.
Thank you for all your contributions! ❤️

#Conversations_im has the ability to fetch outage status information from an independent server and display that in case the regular #XMPP server can not be reached.
This is powered by XEP-0455 (https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0455.html).
TLDR: Server gives client a URL to a JSON file during normal connects, client will hold on to that URL and fetch the JSON file in case server is unreachable.
Dino 0.5 is out! 🥳
Dino now features improved file transfers and two completely reworked dialogs.

A recent security audit of #Conversations_im¹ found that wildcard certificate handling didn’t fully comply with the spec.
Conversations was accepting *.a.example for c.b.a.example, even though wildcards are only meant to match a single label.
This issue has been fixed in version 2.18.0, now live on Google Play.
