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.
I agree with "go for whatever makes you feel good", BUT would hope, that you feel best by helping with one of the existing clients instead of starting yet another one.
The problem with #Jabber clients is not lack of them, but that most are incomplete. E.g. #ConverseJS and #Gajim lack A/V calls, #Dino lacks adhoc commands and an official Windows build, etc.
Writing a good chat client is a HUGE endeavour. Better join a friendly team than work alone.
Eben habe ich meine SIM-Karte wieder in das Librem5 eingebaut. :)
Die Apps die ich jetzt mehr nutzen werde sind dann #chatty und #dino-im, #Foliate, #Numberstation, #Podcasts, #Geary, #Feeds und #gnugo.
Im Blog-Beitrag vom Debian XMPP Team bekommt ihr dazu einige Informationen.
