So tonight I merged the multi-sessions per process branch. This is the result of 3 months of intensive work and a complete refactoring of most Movim code to isolate the users sessions in memory.

But the result is there, Movim is now scaling way way better memory wise.

Attached a screenshot of https://mov.im/ memory graph before and after the change ✨

And now, back to Spaces 👀

@zeroday
Moin, dann mal viel Erfolg beim Ausprobieren. In meinem Bekanntenkreis hat sich der Standard #XMPP durchgesetzt (Technikanfänger/-innen kann man da gut mit#Quicksy abholen bzw. auf https://imday.de/ verweisen).

Einen Systemvergleich findet man hier: https://www.freie-messenger.de/systemvergleich/xmpp-matrix/

Trotzdem viel Erfolg.

I wonder how hard it could be to build a #Discord clone using #XMPP.

It already has most of the features, and it would only require combining them in another UI than typical XMPP clients have.

Hey #Monal users!

Do you sometimes have problems playing a voice message in Monal and you need to restart Monal to play it?

The @Monal team fixed this issue a few days ago, see:
https://github.com/monal-im/Monal/commit/da100811a50cbffdc51cb842e82b3094cda93a3a

I tested the beta and the voice messages are playing perfectly now.

Thank you @Monal

Can't wait for the official app store release!

@fruitchypear

More funding for #Jabber/#XMPP would be nice, but please not too much. As soon as significant #VC is involved, #enshitification is inevitable.

Just imagine if #XMPP had the same level of funding that other projects have.

Despite this, I love how the ecosystem keeps moving towards the future.

Ich habe #diday gar nicht so verstanden, daß es irgendjemandem irgendwas vorschreiben wollte oder auch nur könnte. Das wäre nicht nur übergriffig, sondern vor allem megalomanisch.

Und ich habe es auch nicht so verstanden, daß es um #digitaleUnabhängigkeit bzgl. eines bestimmten Staates geht.

Signal hat aber tatsächlich mit dem Thema #digitaleSouveränität nichts zu tun. Dafür gibt's z.B. #Jabber/#XMPP u.a. föderierte IMs.

Dear friends,

Our Hetzner server's bill, hosting Diasp.in, Durare.org and Poddery.com XMPP services for December 2025 and January 2026 is - €8.18 (~ ₹880). These are public services, maintained by volunteers and sustained on donations by people like you. Please help us by either sponsoring this expense or a part of it.

Historically, events like Meta announcing ads in WhatsApp haven’t significantly impacted #Conversations_im download numbers. This time feels different. February saw double the installs of a typical month. It seems the sentiment against Big Tech is finally translating into action.

@lil5

I'ld be interested to read about the IRC moderation features, that #Jabber/#XMPP does not (yet?) have! I can imagine room for approvement.

Btw. I'm the author of a simple moderation bot, #CrowdMod:

https://salsa.debian.org/debacle/crowdmod

But why should an XMPP server not run on 20 yo hardware? It's pretty lightweight! Admins can decide, how much disk space they want to assign e.g. for message archiving and files.

IRCv3 is better than Matrix or xmpp

Easier to host, easier to moderate & is able to run on 20year old hardware

My personal thrill right now is #Movim by @movim:

#FreeSoftware, federated, based on open standards, and almost as old as I am 🙂

YMMV, though.

PS: It has optional bridges to IRC, Matrix, Discord, Signal, Telegram, if that matters.

❗ XMPP et CONVERSATIONS ❗

🇫🇷 Si vous utilisez XMPP et Conversations sur Android, lisez la suite ! Sinon, vous pouvez ignorer ce message.

Avec la dernière mise à jour de Conversations, il est nécessaire de modifier un paramètre dans l'application : allez dans Paramètres / Sécurité et désactivez l'option TLS Version 1.3 (voir photo d'écran jointe). Vous devrez peut-être vous reconnecter et accepter le certificat avec "OK".

Si vous ne faites pas cela, la connexion à votre compte XMPP ne fonctionnera plus.

Je ferai une mise à jour du serveur prochainement pour éviter cette manipulation.

Vous pouvez toujours vous connecter également par tout autre client et notre client Web : https://chat.gayfr.online

____________________

🇬🇧 If you use XMPP and Conversations on Android, read on! Otherwise, you can ignore this message.

With the latest update of Conversations, it is necessary to change a setting in the app: go to Settings / Security and disable the TLS Version 1.3 option (see attached screenshot). You may need to reconnect and accept the certificate with "OK".

If you do not do this, the connection to your XMPP account will no longer work.

I will update the server soon to avoid this workaround.

You can always also connect through any other client and our web client: https://chat.gayfr.online

Some of you may have experienced some authentication issues the past few days on https://mov.im/ 😬

I am currently testing the new scalable architecture. We are reaching -90% of RAM usage but there is some session management optimization that are still a bit unstable. This should be fixed in the upcoming days, and if everything is okay, merged in the main branch ✨

I'd like to take the opportunity to remind you that XMPP video calls exist!

They're not supported by _all_ clients and not for group calls. But 1:1 calls work perfectly fine!

And: They're encrypted if you chose OMEMO encryption in your conversation with another user. 💪

Looking for a client to try XMPP audio/ video calls? Try Dino or Conversations for Android :)

@alpha

Ich nutze bzgl. IM nur #Jabber/#XMPP, seit ≈ 2014. Finde ich besser als SIgnal, weil:

1. Kann mir den Server (-Standort) aussuchen, auch den Domainname. Ich habe z.B. ein "debian.org" account, einen anderen mit dem Namen meiner Firma, wobei der Server auch in der Firma läuft. Also #digitaleSouveränität.

2. Ich habe kein Android oder iOS. Signal läuft als Desktop-App auch nur, wenn man zusätzlich ein Smartphone nutzt. WTF? Jabber hat gute Desktop-Clients wie #Dino und #Gajim.

Was haltet ihr von #signalmessenger bzw. das fork #mollyim ?

Sind ja auch #bigtech konzerne in #usa bzw nutzen die cloud dienste wie #aws #google usw...

Oder meidet ihr solche apps/messenger grundsätzlich #boykottusa und nutzt stattdessen zb #deltachat #xmpp oder ähliche #dezentrale messenger?

"Closing issue; #XMPP support returned to Apprise" (2026-02-06)

https://github.com/caronc/apprise/issues/497#issuecomment-3857520954

Thanks to the November 2025 #Berlin XMPP meetup, where somebody made it work again, while @dino worked on #Dino 🙂

Hi #xmpp #devops #adminsys folks, I’m looking for a way to push #monitoring messages to an XMPP MUC room via a #webhook. I already have an Apprise instance that forwards these messages to an #IRC channel, but unfortunately, #Apprise no longer supports XMPP, and I’d like to avoid using a #bridge.

Any suggestions or tools that could #help? Thanks in advance!

Tonight's Spaces status:
- Numerous stability fixes ✅
- Notifications are properly working ✅
- Admins can set admin/member role to user users ✅

There is still some notifications feature to be done... and stability improvement and I think I'll be good to merge a first preview of the Spaces in Movim 👀 Interested to try it out ?

I repeat that everything done so far works on a standard #ejabberd #XMPP server without any specific hack. It is just very basic MUC + Pubsub XMPP put together so it should work "out of the box" (minor a small config to declare where the Spaces are created) to work ✨

Stay tuned 😸!

@debacle

By the way, would you happen to know if the HTTP-based file/image/etc transfer is end-to-end encrypted like text is?

@mathieui

#XMPP #OMEMO #E2EE

@mathieui

So how does it work? The sender uploads the image to the sender's server, and the recipient fetches it directly from the sender's server, not proxied through the recipient's server?

I've heard talk of adding onion routing to #XMPP. Seems to me that this sort of direct fetching would defeat the purpose of onion routing…

@debacle

@debacle

So, #XMPP HTTP upload is not server-to-server like with email? Then yeah, that exposes the recipient's IP too. And that's on by default even in #Gajim. 😬

@debacle

HTTP upload? Isn't that how #XMPP sends pictures in chat? Even #Gajim and #Conversations will auto-download those.

I was under the impression those are stored-and-forwarded by the XMPP server, though, since most XMPP clients are behind NAT and can't directly communicate with each other.

Was I mistaken?

@sophiekaz

The best is #Jabber/#XMPP, of course. 😉
Federated messaging since 1999!
No centralized #bigTech servers like WA or Signal.

Very easy onboarding with #Quicksy by @daniel (Android client) and @Monal (iOS client).

There are many other federated messengers, of course, which are also nice.

Just found out that #BeagleIM automatically fetches web links in messages and plays the page's video if there is one.

This is not acceptable behavior!!!

* It's annoying. There isn't any obvious way to stop the video.

* It's insecure. The linked page might attack vulnerabilities in Beagle's video player.

* It exposes the user's IP address to anyone who sends them a message, potentially physically endangering them.

Will uninstall and replace ASAP.

#XMPP #security #cybersecurity #infosec #UX

This release brings fixes for OTR detection, OMEMO startup, overwriting new accounts when running multiple instances, reconnect when no account has been set up yet, adds a new /changes command that allows the user to see the modifications of the runtime configuration vs. the saved configuration among many other fixes and improvements. Make sure to have fun!

Hallo @mailbox_org, in der Familie nutzen wir die App Conversations mit dem XMPP Account von mailbox.org. Leider funktionieren Anrufe nicht zwischen Smartphone (Mobilfunk) und Tablet (WLAN). Es liegt wahrscheinlich an einem veralteten XMPP Server bei mailbox.org bzw. an der fehlenden Aktivierung von XEP-0215. Es wäre schön, wenn ihr bitte den Server aktualisieren und XEP-0215 aktivieren könntet!

Danke!

@pixelschubsi @orva Hi, I'm the author of https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/av_conferences.html . The spec is not abandoned at all, it's still WIP following change requested by XMPP council (notably working with a single Jingle session).

I have actually an experimental implementation in Libervia, with a component based on Galène SFU. I'll go back to that, but I'm working on many things, so it takes time.

Note that I'm also working on experimental remote desktop control feature.

#XMPP #av #calls #Libervia #SFU

It will be time to prove that Libervia is not the Hurd of XMPP 😀

Soon, soon.

I'm finishing the implementation of contacts e2e encryption. This has been done in the context of the serverless metadata reduction grant (https://nlnet.nl/project/ServerlessXMPP/). As the name implies, it let you encrypt metadata on your contacts (name, groups, description), but can also be used to extend roster metadata.

On other fronts, we have talked about sealed sender at last summit (notably @daniel) and @mathieui made a great suggestion about onion routing in XMPP.

#Libervia #XMPP

Tonight's Spaces status:
- Invitations link, join request and request reply done ✅
- Space rooms changes (add/remove) synchronization done ✅
- Affiliations synchronisation between the Space and the Space rooms done ✅

Already more than 100 files changed and +2500 lines added in the project! 🫣
