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.

The #Chat of the Future Initiative discusses their spring activities progress today from 19:00 (UTC+1)!
Topics: Unified promotion material as well as an idea for a new community online event.
In case you're using the official ejabberd packages on Debian stable: They're affected by a recent CA policy change (e.g., Let's Encrypt), causing ejabberd to reject newly issued certificates and thereby breaking federation with some remote servers. Deploy this update to fix the issue:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1128568#23
You may also want to consider enabling mod_s2s_dialback to deal with remote servers that haven't been updated yet.
⚠️ **Wartungsankündigung**
Heute Nacht führen wir **kurzfristig notwendige** Wartungsarbeiten durch.
Ab **2026-03-13T01:00:00+01:00** werden beide Server neu gestartet.

I recently added a display to #Conversations_im showing the number of stanzas (XMPP packets) sent/received in the current session. What are your counts and how long has your session been active? (Account Details -> 'Server info' in the overflow menu.)
Yesterday, I quickly put together a tutorial on how to replace ntfy.sh with a minimal, self-hosted XMPP server and published it as a GitHub Gist. Then I remembered I have a website and reworked it into two nice little posts:

Ich benutze #Jabber seit 2008. Enfangs mit ejabberd, seit einiger Zeit aber mit prosody, weil man damit eher einen Transport zu zB Whatsapp hinbekommen hat.
Ich habe seit Sommer auch #slidge und bin recht begeistert: WA, Signal, Matrix und Telegram laufen im XMPP mit.

New version of Gajim is out (2.4.4). Get it while it’s hot!
Lots of little fixes and improvements. Especially for Mac.
While #Jabber/#XMPP has not the same #confidentiality as Signal (e.g. more meta data is stored on the server; and current #OMEMO 1 is not as good as, OMEMO 2, which unfortunately is not widely implemented), but it's close enough for me.
The advantages of #federation and #digitalSovereignty outweight those minor problems. YMMV.
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:

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.
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 understand that the endless social media debates about which messaging client is best are obnoxious. That’s why we need to finally adopt a common standard so everyone can choose between Cheogram, Conversations, and Yaxim, or Dino and Gajim, without having to convince everyone else to use the same one.
