An #XMPP sprint has just been announced for June 2026 in the Berlin offices of Wikimedia Germany. I will definitely put that on my calendar. Last year was great fun. Thank you @debacle.

https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Sprints/2026-06_Berlin

Just released version 1.13 of slixmpp, a #python library for the #XMPP messaging protocol!

https://blog.mathieui.net/slixmpp-1-13.html

Me gustaría alojar mi propio servidor #xmpp. ¿Alguna recomendación?

@Oleksii @danish_akhtar7

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?

@danish_akhtar7

Btw. in case it is important to you: #Jabber/#XMPP uses #OMEMO encryption, which is practically the same crypto protocol as Signal has, incl. #forwardSecrecy.

But for Jabber, you don't need a phone number, you are not bound Android/iOS, and you don't need to use AWS.

Best clients to start with:
- #Conversations_im (Android)
- #Monal (iOS)
- #Dino (Linux desktop)
- #Movim (web browser)

@danish_akhtar7

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.

El servidor XMPP de la instancia lleva activo desde este verano.

Si necesitas una cuenta el acceso es por invitación para usuarios de la comunidad y personas de confianza, con la idea de ofrecer mensajería federada fuera de silos privativos.

Es un proyecto pequeño, pero estable.

Dear XMPP and jabber users,

is anyone running a jabber server in Kubernetes, preferrably via helm chart? Any recommendations, experiences?

#XMPP #Jabber #Kubernetes #k8s #helm #homelab #HellYeah

@kuketzblog @dotBekksen
Tja, da wird dir vermutlich jede/r etwas anderes empfehlen...
Persönlich ist mir freie Anbieterwahl wichtig. Das ist ein Grund, warum ich den Standard #XMPP nutze, siehe https://imday.de/

Signal ist vermutlich der einfachere Move... persönlich bin ich aber kein Fan davon, wieder bei einem Anbieter festzustecken.

@wsa probaste usando #XMPP ?

@limon seria mucho mas interesante una cuemta #XMPP 😉

@lamarea

Mi recomendación es claramente #Jabber/#XMPP.

Libre y federado desde 1999 (lo uso desde ≈ 2014). La tecnologia es la misma que usan en Google FCM, Whatsapp, Zoom, Fortnite chat, Grindr etc.

Hay una comunidad muy diversa, varios servidores y clientes. Jabber es el fediverso de chat!

También hay canales públicos como Telegram: https://search.jabber.network/ por @sjn.

Si te interesa, segui @xmpp, @joinjabber, @xmpp_providers…

@spla #XMPP 👍 #Matrix 👍

@Lockdownyourlife

Never tried Zoom. Both #JitsiMeet (general video conferences) and #BigBlueButton (webninars) typically work. A/V quality can vary though. Depends on selected server, number of participants, location of participants, etc.

{EDIT} You can e.g. try @senfcall for #BBB or check @bigbluebutton. There are many public Jitsi instances, e.g. in DE.

Btw. #Movim @movim and #Libervia by @Goffi are working on multi-party A/V based on #Jabber/#XMPP. #VivaLaFederación!

Another (second) release of siltamesh, my simple bridge between XMPP and the meshtastic network.

Reliability has been improved, and now you can store the received locations of local mesh nodes. The locations can even be displayed online with @umap, a great OSM-based online map.

Only for non-commercial use:

My personal email provider is #INBerlin e.V.
Works well for me since the early 1990s 🙂

Cheapest option is 5 €/month:
https://in-berlin.de/provider/shared-hosting/

But you can have multiple mailboxes/users and many more services are included, such as #Jabber/#XMPP #instantMessaging.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Individual_Network_Berlin

If you prefer a commercial provider, @mailbox_org is best, as they also include Jabber. Posteo is OK, too.

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!

#XMPP #ServeurXMPP #XMPPServer

Prosody IM » 🌐 2026-02-06
@prosodyim@fosstodon.org

Let's Encrypt is making changes to the certificates it issues from 11th February. This has some impact on the XMPP network.

No action required for Prosody operators. Operators of servers running ejabberd need to make sure they are running version 25.08 or later.

More details in our blog post: https://blog.prosody.im/2026-letsencrypt-changes/

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.

#ThatsXMPP #Jabber

@prosodyim @ejabberd @debian @letsencrypt

#Debian 13 #trixie stable has #ejabberd 24.12.

In case it is affected, I hope, there will be a patched version in time.

EDIT: It has been pointed out to me, that the problem is not as severe as it might sound. Connections to servers with s2s dialback will continue to work. I assume/hope, that most servers do have that mechanism enabled.

#Letsencrypt #Jabber #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.

#XMPP #Jabber

I have written support for OpenClaw chat over XMPP by contributing code for an XMPP channel: https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/pull/9741
You can test it and let me know.

And yes be careful about the security. Make your research. You have to know what you are getting into first.

#xmpp

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.)

The room is at: superb-owl@conference.chat.twomile.com

And if you're already set up with XMPP this may work (hand-written; no promises): xmpp://superb-owl@conference.chat.twomile.com?join

@marxistvegan

I hope, that free and federated #instantMessaging will dominate at some point, no matter which one.

My personal favourite is #Jabber/#XMPP, because

1. I consider it more versatile (even universal) than other approaches. E.g. my company does IoT based on it. There are also social apps like #Movim and #Libervia or professional team chat like #Prose.

2. It is used in huge (unfortunately proprietary) setups already, e.g. Google FCM, Zoom, Fornite, Grindr…

#digitalSovereignty

Was thinking about the French news that they will move away from Zoom and even Signal. At first I understood the Zoom issue and was a little perplexed by the Signal one, however I can understand it in that there is no way for France to host their version. Which brings me back to a question, will XMPP make a reemergence or will something like Delta take its place? (discuss)

#xmpp #diday

Añadí mi #XMPP al perfil. Por si gustan pasar a insultarme, halagarme, regalarme pasteles, etc.

@aandre

Depends on use case. We use #Jabber/#XMPP in our company for ≈ 40 users.
With #Prosody by @prosodyim as server and both #Dino by @dino and #Gajim by @gajim as clients.
Very interesting team communication client, but not yet ready for prime time: #Prose by @prose.

Worst problem: No good client for Windows!
Dino has A/V calls, but the Windows fork is abandoned and does not have message reactions. Gajim and Prose don't have A/V calls yet. Maybe #Movim by @movim is the best option?

De WhatsApp a Delta Chat

@hipcrime @delta

As I don't know Signal: Is this sth. similar to "#XEP-0466: #EphemeralMessages" in #XMPP?

https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0466.html

Which, TTBOMK, is not implemented in any client, unfortunately, not even in #Poezio.

@delta I got the gist of Delta Chat, and want to look further into it when time allows. I once set up an in-house #XMPP server (Prosody) for family use, and it worked pretty well. Especially for voice calling.

We fell back to Signal though, because some family don't really have secure endpoint devices, and Signal is good at time-limiting messages in chats.

@fasnix Bei #XMPP ist sowas spezifiziert: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0227.html

La situacion en #cyberdelia.com.ar es la siguiente, cortaron la luz, parece que el corte es grande porque Edesur puso un generador para suplir la falta de servicio que desde hace 12 horas nos dejo sin luz. El tema es que eso afecto a los nodos del ISP y todavia no hay servicio de internerd en la zona.

Esperemos que cuando vuelva internerd el ISP recuerde que tenemos IP publica... hasta entonces sera todo incertidumbre.

Si no vuelve solo, tendre que gestionar una visita tevcnica del ISP... asi que en el peor de los casos nos vemos la semana que viene.

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.

#Jabber #XMPP #IETF #RFC

@dnkrupinski

Whatever is free and federated and floats your boat. If it's Delta for you, #Jabber/#XMPP for me, and Matrix for others, I'm happy!

@radasbona @delta

I'm not sure about official, but there are various bridging solution between those three plus IRC, plus ActivityPub, and probably others.

The bridges are far from perfect, though. E.g. I use #slidge as bridge from my #Jabber/#XMPP server to Matrix, but it's "puppeteering", i.e. I still need an account on Matrix for that. Also, I can't do A/V calls from one protocol to the other. Messaging, message reactions, message replies, sharing images do work, however.

Not that bad! 🙂
