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.
Et hop, version XMPP Web 0.12.0 sortie avec de nombreux petites améliorations orientées utilisateurs et un nouveau contributeur qui semble motivé pour les appels audio / video 🎉 #dev #xmpp

The good thing about Movim is that you can also fully self-host it.
There is no place like 127.0.0.1 ✨
I'm adding the last missing features to the Spaces.
Please, don't expect Movim to have all the Discord features in the end 🫣I don't have the time for it and I would prefer to keep things as simple as possible 😸
Anyway you'll be able to pin important Spaces in the sidebar 📍 and select how you want to be notified from it (never, when mentioned or always) 🔔
I'll do a bit of refactoring and stabilization and propose it in the main branch after that. Soon 👀

I’ve officially started a new hobby group in Iceland focused on PMR 446 radios. Even though I recently got my Ham license, I have an extreme soft spot for these little "license-free" devices. There’s something uniquely fun about seeing how much distance you can squeeze out of 0.5 watts of power.
I’m taking a page out of the UK radio scene’s book and starting a "Sunday Net" (Sundays at 1:00 PM). The goal? Get to high ground, turn to Channel 1, and see who we can reach.
The "Digital Dilemma":
To actually find people, I’ve had to set the main base on Facebook (since that's where the crowds are), but as a fan of open tech, I’m using this as an excuse to bridge the gap:
💬 XMPP: I’ve set up a chat group to promote decentralized messaging.
🛡️ Matrix: I’m testing a room there to see if it can finally replace Discord for me.
If you’re in Iceland and have a dusty walkie-talkie in a drawer—or if you just love independent comms—come join the experiment!

Please forget about #Thunderbird for #Jabber/#XMPP at this moment. It does work, a colleague of mine does use it on their PC.
But it does not support any modern XMPP features of the last decade. No images, e2ee, message archive, stream management (crucial on mobile!), reactions, A/V calls.
If you are on Android, there is only #Conversations_im by @daniel for Jabber now (and its various forks).
For #Mobian, there is #Dino by @dino, for iOS #Monal by @Monal.
@ben
> I rather like using Thunderbird on Android. It supports Autocrypt too!
I didn't know either of these things. Thanks for the tip!
I've installed Thunderbird via F-Droid so I can try this out. I'm told it supports XMPP and Matrix too, which might allow me to get rid of a bunch of the apps I'm currently juggling on my ancient and increasingly decrepit Android.

Four recipes to use an open #chat #protocol at the ‘Digital Independence Day’ ( #di_day )!

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 👀

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.

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!
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.
It's the first sunday of March and it's Digital Independence Day again.
If you would like to spend some minutes to install an independent messaging app and get a cool indie messaging address, you might have a look at:
https://imday.de/en/
And don't panic: It's easier than you might expect.
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.
https://framapiaf.org/@debacle/115804383499425330
You like Signal for it's outstanding #confidentiality? Fine!
You like Threema, since it's safe, it's from #Switzerland, and #ElsbethSigmund as #Heidi was your #childhoodCrush? Great!
You like Whatsapp, because your friends are there? I don't blame you!
But 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 don't claim, that any of those #centralServices would support #digitalAutonomy, #digitalIndependence, #digitalSovereignty. They have their merits, but they still are #walledGardens.
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.
Continued...
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.
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.
My personal thrill right now is #Movim by @movim:
https://mov.im/community/pubsub.movim.eu/Movim/help-movim-reach-its-goals-for-2026-LQext9
#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 ✨

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 😸!
