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.
Significant progress has been made over the past few days on the Space feature, bringing it closer to reality ✨ Here's a small preview of the current development branch 👀
To help cover the project's annual expenses and free up more time to focus on these exciting new features, I've launched a fundraising campaign for 2026 🌡️🪙😸
I've also shared full details about the different goals and how you can help me achieve them in 2026 in a detailed post on the official blog: https://mov.im/community/pubsub.movim.eu/Movim/help-movim-reach-its-goals-for-2026-LQext9 📄📢
And don't forget to spread the word! 2026 will be a truly exciting year for Movim for sure 🤩
I never used Matrix on a mobile device. Maybe for that use case #Jabber/#XMPP is a better option?
I mainly use the latter, but also Matrix via #slidge as gateway. My account is on matrix.org.
If Matrix isn't your cup of tea ^W^W^W mate of yerba, the best Jabber client for Discord migration seems to be #Movim by @movim atm.:
https://mov.im/post/pubsub.movim.eu/Movim/help-movim-reach-its-goals-for-2026-LQext9
Conversations (via #UnifiedPush) is the backbone that gives #Matrix its reliable and timely notifications. An eventually consistent graph database is a nice concept, but it takes #XMPP to put the real-time into real-time communications.
Ärgern darfst Du Dich natürlich und es wäre schön, wenn das Löschen ein bisschen häufiger klappte als derzeit.
Vielleicht hat der semifederierte (oder semizentralisierte?) Ansatz von #XMPP da sogar (relative!) Vorteile?
Gruppenchats (#MUC) sind jeweils nur auf einem Server. Nachrichten, die aus dem Message Archive gelöscht sind, sind dort weg. Was natürlich nicht verhindert, daß sie in den Client-Caches liegen oder jemand ein Web-View eines Chats ins Netz…
(1/2)
While I like #Jabber/#XMPP and use it every day, I don't see it as alternative to videoconferencing like Zoom or Google Meet, yet. People are working on it, but don't hold your breath.
For now, I suggest #JitsiMeet and #BigBlueButton, which work pretty well. Never tried #NextcloudTalk or #OpenTalk, but people keep recommending them.
Of course, it always depends on your instance.
As I use #Conversations #XMPP client to chat with my family I configured it to be also an #UnifiedPush distributor.
This reuses the already existing XMPP connection to also serve other android apps for push messages.
On server side I used #ejabberd community module mod_unified_push.
It works nicely.
When I update event in nextcloud, DAVx⁵ gets notified and update is immediately synced to phone.
When I get new notification on Mastodon, Tusky is notified and notification shows on phone.
I hope more apps are going to support this in near feature.
Quite nice to see some networks being supported that are lesser known in the west. Apparently there is a sizable number of Chinese XMPP users these days.
Mitte/Ende der 1990er mal ein bisschen IRC, in den 2000ern testweise #Jabber (mein antiquarischer @jabberdotorg Account existiert noch!), aber beides schnell wieder eingeschlafen, zugunsten von SMS.
Dann wollten wir ≈ 2014 Chat in der Firma und haben uns für Jabber (#Prosody) entschieden. Seitdem nutze ich es viel, auch privat. IRC, SMS und Matrix via #XMPP gateways (#biboumi, #sms4you, #slidge).
Alles andere nie probiert:

Was war eure Messenger-Journey? Welcher Messenger war bei euch mal 'ne Weile die Nummer 1?
Bei mir war es so:
#TelMe
#SMS
#ICQ
#IRC
#XMPP/#Jabber
#Telegram
#Signal
nie auf Platz 1, aber in Nutzung waren bei mir:
#MSN, #AIM, #Y!M, #Skype, #Threema, #WhatsApp, #Matrix, #Tox, #DeltaChat
An mehr aktiv benutzte kann ich mich nicht erinnern, wie war es bei euch? #Slack dabei? oder #Teams? Vielleicht #RocketChat?
boostedI first installed an XMPP server back when it was Jabber over 20 years ago, and I remember chatting to people on Google Talk, before they decided to do their own thing. Having just installed Prosody (#XMPP) and Tuwunel (#Matrix) servers, both of which are excellent, I am personally of the opinion that XMPP is a lot more sensible.
I'm so hyped by this Pull request, can't wait !!
Bon par contre le problème des message non lisible d'un client a l'autre ... ça refroidi très vite #XMPP #Movim #MonocleChat #ConversationIM
Okay, I have an #XMPP/#Jabber question that I can't find a great answer to. On fedi, I can have an alias @liv@oliviaappleton.com that points to my profile. Is there a similar thing I can do for XMPP? I would ideally like to redirect to an arbitrary domain, so like liv@oliviaappleton.com would point to username@example.com
Me, my ego and myself are trying #xmpp out.
Is someone here using it also or are there channels to recommend?
Thanks
Use protocols, not services: https://notnotp.com/notes/use-protocols-not-services/
Interesting read. Makes me want to set up an #xmpp server just to feel some level of #privacy against #surveillance. It feels like privacy and control of our own data is dead.
It's funny to call #Movim a Discord alternative, because it started in 2010, Discord in 2015 🙂
https://mov.im/blog/debacle/76bf90a4-5f59-4962-92db-6cd859f42ec9
@movim is not in that graph, because it's part of the #Jabber/#XMPP ecosystem.
Playing around with a Discord alternative called Movim. It's based on the XMPP protocol.
Hmmmmm..🤔
#DiscordMigration #Discord #DiscordAlternatives #XMPP #Mastodon #Tech
Note, that some #Jabber/#XMPP developers are working hard on getting Discord-like features, esp. #Movim by @movim, esp. "spaces" (which were "servers" in Discord lingo?)

I just got my band set up on a #selfhosted #Matrix / #Element. This is controversial for a number of reasons - but I'm comfortable doing the grunt work to make it happen in a way I can live with.
For my non-techie friends coming over, it's close enough and they picked it right up. Our needs are basic and are covered.
I realise this will not fit everyone's needs, and it's a sprawling project choked with #enshittification at the moment, but if you can sift down through it all, you might find something that works. (Not very encouraging - I know. I'm sorry - it's a little dire out there.)
Another alternative that I run is #xmpp. It's less like discord than most Matrix clients, but it's fast and light - time tested and has e2ee.
There is also #NextCloud Talk. I don't use it much, but it works as well as xmpp or matrix in my experience.
Are there any communication/texting apps or software that are confirmed not to use any AI or LLMs in their code or coding process? Software with clear no-AI policies?
Self-hosting, E2EE, and open source would also be good, but for now I'm just wondering if there are any anti-AI chat app lists out there.
#AntiAI #NoAI #Discord #XMPP #Jabber #DeltaChat #IRC #NoLLM #NoLLMs
@grayhaven The Technical Council of the #XMPP Standards Foundation *explicitly rejected* a proposal that would enable a standardized use of AI via XMPP. The council consists of developers of OpenFire, Conversations, Dino, Cheogram, JMP and Libervia. I'm not sure in how far they have clear policies against the use of AI though.
I'm not in the protocol details, but as a lay person, I'ld:
1. Make sure to use a globally unique message id. Messages can have different ids, but there is one assigned by the server (MAM id?), that is the same across clients.
2. Assign a PEP node for pinning and either have one item with the list of ids (of the pinned messages) or, alternatively, have one item per pinned message id. No idea, what is better.
If there is a problem in #XMPP, the solution is #PEP/#PubSub. Always.
Signal recently implemented and launched Pinning of messages
https://signal.org/blog/pinned-messages/
I really think it is a useful feature and have been using it in Mattermost and Slack for many years.
I hope #xmpp clients like #dino #gajim and #conversations_im will follow with a similar feature, maybe even making it possible to sync such message pins across clients.
Beberapa hari kepikiran kenapa gak ada yang bikin alternatif Discord/Slack tapi berbasis XMPP alih-alih bikin protokol sendiri.
Ternyata ada, cuma saya yang gak tahu 😌
Privat bestelle ich zwar nie etwas zu essen, aber für den #Berlin #XMPP #sprint 2025 haben wir das Mittagessen für alle in einem Restaurant bestellt.
Die haben das mit dem #Taxi gebracht! Es war für sie immer noch billiger so als die #Wegelagerergebühr der #Digitalfeudalismus-Plattformen! Ich war sehr überrascht.
Praktisch: So konnten wir problemlos #datenschutzfreundlich mit #Bargeld bezahlen!
Quer testar o #fluux #xmpp #messenger da @ProcessOne @ejabberd ?
Liberado para qualquer dominio. Incluso o do lemmy.eco.br e da galera que usa nossos serviços!
@0x7700e6 you asked for it, we did it!
Movim can now stream your tab or desktop audio when doing a video call ✨
We also improved the layout to clarify when someone is streaming with a [Live 🔴] status and the current resolution of the streamed video.
A little note: audio sharing is not available on all the browser and OS, checkout the compatibility tab there: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Screen_Capture_API/Using_Screen_Capture#browser_compatibility
One of the many #Discord features that is now available on Movim and in the #XMPP ecosystem 💪😸

Getting back to work, see you 👀!
Après cette semaine j'ai quand-même envie de refaire un point sur les solutions alternatives à #Discord et où elles en sont selon moi :
Et je vais essayer d'arrêter mon hyperfixation de la semaine sur ce sujet parce que je me fatigue, probablement je vous fatigue aussi et je pense que si je continuais là dessus ça serait juste redondant.
If you're interested in setting up a secure chat service for you and your friends, you might want to try @snikket_im
It's really cheap to run and easy to set up, it's managed hosting so you don't need to do techy stuff.
Technical details: it runs on XMPP with OMEMO end-to-end encryption, but this is hidden behind non-technical branding so it doesn't scare people.
Instances are federated, Snikket and other types of XMPP instance can communicate.
Started diving into XMPP today. I set up prosody and got it working with a few extra modules and components enabled, too. The Conversations client for android seems pretty nice, so I might keep adding features on the server as long as Conversations supports them.
Uh, uh, uwu!
The guide I’ve been working on all week just went online!
It’s meant to help folks using the new invite feature.

You’re admin of an XMPP server and you (just) enabled mod_invites? Then this is for you! Share that link with your users so they can spread the fun!
Hey #xmpp and #jabber experts on Mastodon: my XMPP server is im.interfree.ca, and so my JID is fastfinge@im.interfree.ca. However, I would like to alias my JID to fastfinge@interfree.ca. That way my email, jabber, and fediverse id's are all the same. I control the DNS on the entire domain. How can I do this? A quick search isn't finding me a list of clear and straightforward steps.
