A new tool for server operators and developers has arrived: nbxmpp-client lets you check and test various XMPP connection methods (and proxy configurations) while having an eye on the protocol's XML stream. Version 2.0.0 has just been released and comes with a fresh design (Gtk4+libadwaita).
Just embarked on the journey to Brussels for the #XMPP summit and #FOSDEM. Excited to meet old and new faces for the first time in several years, and talk about @prosodyim and @snikket_im development.
If you'll be at FOSDEM, stop by the Realtime Lounge in K building level 2! We have stickers and stuff 🙂
Gajim 1.6.1 is mostly a bug fixing release, but it also brings some important improvements and adds more convenience. Thank you for all your contributions!

I've tried to set up my prosody xmpp-server (more exactly: I migrated from a different machine with some really outdated version)
Most stuff works fine. Apart from mod_http_file_share that is.
If I...
This evening I pushed a #Prosody community module that acts as a #UnifiedPush server. It allows apps on your phone to receive push notifications, using #XMPP as the delivery channel instead of Google's proprietary FCM or regular polling.
It uses a protocol devised and implemented by @daniel and all credit goes to him for this idea and first implementations.
It's all experimental stuff, but I'm already using it to get realtime notifications in #Fedilab 🙂
@ErcanErdemArdal Oh, I realise you were probably talking about #quicksy and not slidge in this toot, sorry about that. Yes, Quicksy JIDs (#XMPP addresses) look like +555123456@quicksy.im, so if you want an XMPP account not linked to your phone number, do not use Quicksy but rather #conversations or forks like cheogram or blabber. I also don't like to see my phone number in my JID *but* a lot of users appreciate it. It makes the user experience closer to whatsapp, signal, telegram, etc.
@ErcanErdemArdal Yes, credentials are stored server side with slidge. Although, just to clarify, I am not administrating a public slidge instance. Slidge is a software meant to be installed by XMPP server admins. #selfhosting an #XMPP server is relatively easy and cheap, and that's the option I recommend to anyone that wants to try slidge. Maybe some XMPP servers admins will propose this to their users one day, but right now, all slidge users that I know of are self-hosters.
All SMS codes are archived by the operator. is it possible to track the account associated with an sms code? Does server record my #phone number? I am concerned about the way accounts are stored / logged on the server. If my phone number is stored somehow then I am not interested with that solution. Thankx, #XMPP #Android
As a hobby, I hack instant messaging gateways from various chat "apps" to XMPP (XMPP is to Whatsapp what the fediverse is to Twitter). Slidge (the name I gave to my hobby software thingy) has been mostly usable for me for a few weeks, so I decided to talk about it a little in my blog, by pretending some milestone has been reached and calling it a "release candidate".
@daniel That's really nice to read, thanks! Slidge tries to XEP-comply as much as it can and I'm happy to fix stuff if it doesn't. Bridged contacts and groups should not be differentiable from other #XMPP entities; it seems to be the case as it (mostly) just works with #Conversations (for me, at least).
I’m pretty excited to see support for reactions and replies in @dino. This will give me something to test with and some extra motivation when I implement both in #Conversations_im this year. #XMPP
One thing I wanted to do for years was to experiment with Conversations acting as a push provider for apps that don’t maintain their own TCP connection (Tusky.app, Ltt.rs, …).
@unifiedpush’s recent post on the @fdroidorg blog¹ renewed my interested in this topic and I've just merged code that make Conversations a UnifiedPush Distributor.
I’m already receiving my @Tusky notifications via #XMPP 🥳

We would like to say thanks to all in the #XMPP community and beyond, for your engagement in this year #2022! A good time for you to say thanks to the projects you use and maybe also give a bit back. Looking forward!
We are pleased to announce a new minor release from our stable branch.
This release fixes an issue in the library Prosody uses to build XML stanzas, wherein it was too strict and disallowed the character “DEL”, which is actually allowed by XML.
Read about the latest XMPP universe updates, such as ejabberd turns 20, Prosody, Conversations and Spark in version 3 + the latest updates on our #Standards!
As our work continues on modernizing XMPP authentication, we have some more new milestones to share with you. Until now our work has mostly been focused on internal Prosody improvements, such as the new roles and permissions framework.
#thunderbird sadly lacks some basic functionality for me. #pgp is not an option in #xmpp chats and it doesnt really support #nextcloud I hope the will change in future updates and thunderbird will evolve in to my be all end all software for communication. but it still has a long way to come.
