That's a very illuminative post!

In other words, please CMIIW:

#XMPP is an open protocol standard with various independent implementations in many programming languages for most operating systems. Almost not two #Jabber clients use the same library.

Delta Chat, OTOH, is a single vendor software framework based on various open standards. My guess: Independent implementations are possible, but maybe not encouraged, because they would sooner or later diverge too much from the original?

And here is the typical #Jabber situation: There are at least TWO #Rust #XMPP libraries! 😞

#XMPPrs: xmpp.rs/ (#MPL)

#luz: bunny.garden/luz/ (#AGPL)

Maybe more.

None of them in #Debian yet, i.e. I see a lot of work ahead 😞

For #Conversations_im I literally developed the UI first. I had a somewhat working UI before I was able to put a single #XMPP message on the wire.

A shared library between different platforms is a good thing. People are trying to do this in XMPP (Snikket SDK, Macaw, Prose) and if I were to start something new for Conversations I'd use something like Kotlin Multiplatform too.

However there is also value in diversity of implementations and the good ideas will prevail concept of XMPP.

Comparing #XMPP against #email protocols is too limited. What sets #deltachat apart is *vertical integration* and being driven by UI/UX considerations. Cross-platform Apps and Bots use the Rust core library which connects with #chatmail relays and classic email servers based on a higher level API -- abstracting over SMTP, MIME, #OpenPGP etc. See chatmail.at

#webxdc apps in turn use an even higher level stable API abstracting over email/xmpp/... see webxdc.org/docs/

I'm on my way back from the Berlin XMPP Sprint and had a fantastic time. Thank you so much @debacle for organizing it, and thank you to everyone who participated. It was especially cool to see some new faces; it's pretty amazing that the #XMPP developer community is still able to attract new talent.

I made good progress on finally being able to show full-size avatars (profile pictures) in #Conversations_im. Stay tuned to learn more about that towards the end of this week.

Our monocles crowdfunding is ongoing and we're so grateful for the support so far! Thank you!

monocles empowers you with open-source, community-driven messaging via XMPP, a privacy friendly email service, a cloud and more – for a transparent alternative for your digital life.

Gajim is a fully-featured XMPP client.

A friend invited me to an #XMPP MUC (group chat) but instead of popping a confirmation to accept and join I just got auto-added to it.

Now I need to find which client did this - either Gajim or Monocles. ​

Did you know that movim was the first XMPP client to support Stories? ✨

From all your devices you can share your everyday moments with your contacts through photos that disappear after 24 hours. 😊

Everything is stored on your own XMPP account and the feature has been standardized as a protocol extension: xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0501.h… 🔒

It looks like a few other XMPP clients are looking to integrate it in the future 👀

#xmpp #stories #features #movim @joinjabber @xmpp

One thing that could help: #XMPP client devs using slidcord so they can improve the features discord users enjoy.

OK this was a shameless plug and is definitely not the most important thing. 😏

I knew @MapComplete could add ratings to Mangrove Reviews...but YIL it can add reviews too! (The OSM POI search on Mangrove Reviews' own site is mysteriously broken.)

In future mapping parties we're _so_ going to be using this to add reviews of the places we eat at! Heck, I've already asked participants of the last two parties to add them 🙂

Hab gerade ein Problem das sich #Conversations nicht mit meinem Server verbinden will...

#blabberIM auf demselben Gerät tuts aber... 🥴

Ich weiß das ich noch Probleme mit dem Zertifikat am Server habe, aber dennoch würde ich bis ich das gefixt habe kommunizieren können...

Bis vor kurzem hat es auch noch funktioniert 😵‍💫

Hat ein Update da irgendwas geändert oder wie kann ich mein Problem lösen?

So installed prosody on my small personal instance and finally run my own #XMPP server. This was surprisingly simple and seems pretty lightweight . Well I don’t know if I did it right 😅 but it seems to work.

You can reach me on XMPP with santiago@lema.@org just like my email.

The next #XMPP Developer Sprint is coming up.

📍 Wikimedia Offices, Berlin, Germany

📆 Friday, May 23rd - Sunday, May 25th 2025

❓ Sprints (aka Hackathons) are a great opportunity for interoperability testing, planning new features, meeting other XMPP developers and generally having a good time.

Finally have my Prosody server all compliant!

I had an epiphany last night about something in the nginx config and after sorting that, all the optional XEP listed also pass!

Now to convince wife and kids to use it for our group chat... they really don't want to install any more apps, because I'm "being difficult" because they already use whatsapp 😑

The main reason I'm impressed with it over matrix, is reliable notifications. It just works. So far, anyway.

Thank you to the people that replied to my post last week suggesting I try xmpp after the matrix server we used shut down. I had written it off as an old platform for nerds, but it's... actually really good ❤️

#prosody #xmpp #chat #nginx #matrix

We decided to create a small #survey on our #XMPP Providers project and invite server operators to send their feedback!

It should not take longer than 2 minutes. The survey is open until 1st May 2025.

Looking forward to hear from you.
