snac.lab8.cz 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.
Bleibt eben ein Basteldienst dieses Signal. 😅
Nichts gegen Molly und Eure Bemühungen, aber für unabhängige IT lieber dezentral.

> federated social networks on top of XMPP. I can think of Movim and Buddycloud for now. I don't know if any of them are still active
#BuddyCloud appears to be a dead parrot. But @movim is very much still active;

There's also Libervia, whose devs even built AP support;

No recent news posts, but that's not unusual for @Goffi, and there are other recent signs of life;
Just fresh out of the oven, release 0.16.1 of the poezio TUI XMPP client!
Mostly fixes and internal stuff, but also adds the ability to see redacted/moderated messages if you wish so – particularly useful if you are the one moderating –.
With persistent hard work by @vaidik_ Prav (@prav) is now available on iPhones!
Though with Apple rejecting it from App Store, installing it is a bit involved. You will need to setup http://SideStore.io and then add Prav source https://prav.app/SidestoreiOS.json

Ok, cool kids of XMPP! How do I find (new) chatgroups in XMPP/Jabber?
I made me a new XMPP acc yesterday and now it's kinda silent there. I'd like to change that. But I'm having problems finding (active) rooms. Back in the days there was a muc search on the web but I can't remember the address. :(
We are exploring support for #MariaDB, #Firebird and #CockroachDB in Openfire. This includes early pull requests and discussion of trade-offs, maintenance cost and real-world demand.
We would love community input before proceeding further.
Is this valuable, or more trouble than it is worth?
For those who run #ProsodyIM as #xmpp server, I did something simple but effective in my failover architecture:
Perfect solution? Of course not.
Effective solution? Hell yeah.
#Certificate authorities have decided to stop setting the “TLS client” #EKU on the #TLS server certificates they issue.
This immediately created a problem for server-to-server protocols like #SMTP and #XMPP.
Now it looks like XMPP servers have begun to simply ignore their clients' certificates' EKU. https://monal-im.org/post/00016-upgrade-ejabberd-on-debian/
I thought restricting the EKU like this was a bad idea. Looks like I was right. The #CA decision is backfiring.
Fucking #monal If I send more than one link only the first one is displayed as link. If the user clicks on the second one, the first is opened.
Links are separated with text.
What morons developed this messenger???
Or that's Gajim developers?
Or it's me who sends multiple links?
Or it's me who uses this fucking #xmpp?
RE: https://fosstodon.org/@xmpp/116351867577725652
While I don’t use #XMPP systems any more, I am delighted to see all the activity that is happening within the ecosystem!
I was an early user of jabber.org (in the early 2000’s?) and continued to use it until it just got so overrun by spam that it was useless for me. Simultaneously, other places that had been using XMPP systems were all moving to Slack or similar messengers, particularly as independent clients were struggling.
But I have always like the ideas of XMPP… I wish the community well

Olhem que legal.. um rapaz de Rosário, Argentina, entrou em contato comigo (criando uma conta no isaCloud) para trocar uma ideia sobre como organizei o onboarding de novos usuários no isaCloud, como fiz o esquema de já adicionar o suporte nos contatos, de ingressar automaticamente no Guia XMPP :)
Nosso projeto está atravessando fronteiras!
Great post by @thanosapollo about #Emacs and #Jabber/#XMPP:
https://thanosapollo.org/posts/emacs-jabber-revival/
"Now, jabber.el is the most XEP-complete text-based client in existence."
#mcabber, #poezio, and #profanity get a tough time, I guess.
"Emacs is not just the editor I write jabber.el in. It is the runtime, the test harness, and the application.
I develop in the same instance where I chat. Fix a bug, eval changes, and the fix is live in my running session. Seconds, not minutes."
Life has meaning, again!

A luz laranja da injeção acendeu no painel. E se tem uma coisa que é INEGOCIÁVEL para mim, pessoalmente, é a credibilidade do serviço para nossos usuários: a confiança no serviço deve ser infraestrutural, isto é, natural.

@FediVideo @thunderbird@tilvids.com @thunderbird@mastodon.online
I'm not sure, if it's appropriate to mention their support for #XMPP. Last time I checked, it was extremely outdated regarding moden #Jabber usage. Many of the features people take for granted nowadays, were not implemented. Did that improve?
Thunderbird is a free open source communications suite including support for email, RSS, XMPP, IRC, Matrix and Usenet. You can follow their official video account at:
There are already over 60 videos uploaded. If they haven't federated to your server yet you can browse them all at https://tilvids.com/a/thunderbird/videos
You can also follow their Mastodon account at @thunderbird@mastodon.online

Nice article! Very useful!
I do, however, disagree with @parismarx about Signal and Whatsapp. I never used them and believe we should (try to) avoid them, as they are deeply integrated with #bigTech, i.e. one with AWS,, the other with Meta.
We can use the #fediverse, so let's use federated chat, too! Paris mentions Matrix/Element, which is great. I like to add the founder of federated IM: #Jabber/#XMPP, which exists since 1999.
Wow!
@thanosapollo just released emacs-jabber 0.10.0 with impressive new features:
https://codeberg.org/emacs-jabber/emacs-jabber/src/branch/master/CHANGELOG.org#headline-1
Bueno ... tenemos servicio de internerd pero detras de un CGNAT ... imposible hacer que #personal mande un técnico, la zona sigue con problemas, asi que esta esta noche nos saltamos el CGNAT y #cyberdelia vuelve ... estamos tratando de solucionar todo con lo que tenemos a mano, sin un mango porque #argentina y coso, limitando los servicios que damos al máximo, dando solo lo más crítico que es #XMPP ... al menos hasta que nos pasen a fibra, esperemos, veremos que nos depara la suerte.
📣 Olá pessoas!
Entre hoje à noite e amanhã início da manhã os serviços isaCloud + XMPP Social + Voz Social passarão por uma migração rápida de datacenter. É praticamente indolor. O aplicativo de vocês irá desconectar e conectar sozinho de onde tudo parou.
De toda forma será enviada uma mensagem automática para os usuários informando da conclusão.
E lembrem-se: sua ligação é muito importante para nós, aguarde na linha enquanto nossos atendentes estão verificando algumas informações...

tl:dr Don't even think of using the #TeleGuard app. Never ever. Use #Signal, #Matrix, or #XMPP/#Jabber
Only through @thanosapollo I learned about https://github.com/mierenhoop/picomemo
It seems to be a pretty small #OMEMO library in C, supporting both "oldmemo" and "newmemo". Nice!
Will package it for #Debian:
Thanos Apollo (@thanosapollo) added OMEMO support to emacs-jabber (aka jabber.el). You can test it on the master branch here:
https://codeberg.org/emacs-jabber/emacs-jabber/src/branch/master
Quietly slipped in today: the XSF has published a new XEP - XEP-0512 - which I had the pleasure of authoring.
It's a small step, but one that opens up some interesting directions for #XMPP implementations. Curious to see where people take it from here.
🎉 Publicado novo site do isaCloud, seguindo a linha dos serviços irmãos xmpp.social.br e voz.social.br :)
Próximo passo é disponibilizar o acesso a recuperação de senha 🔑
Se você não tem conta #xmpp ou tem num serviço estrangeiro e quer ter sua conta soberana, brasileiríssima, cria lá! https://isacloud.com.br
You might like to take a look into #Movim by @movim, if you are interested in the combination of secure chat, public chats, blogging, A/V calls etc.
I looked at Briar some years ago, because I was interested in packaging it for #Debian. IIRC, the protocol wasn't formally documented, so that people could implement it in the programming language of choice, like it is for #XMPP, Matrix etc. Only a Java reference implementation to copy from. I hope, it's better nowadays.
Our combined booth for #UnifiedPush and #XMPP at #CLT2026 went great. There was huge interest in UnifiedPush, and we successfully funneled some of that interest into XMPP as well.
I think it's a great combination since those projects are ideologically well-aligned, and we will likely do it again.
@xmpp_providers
My XMPP server, chat.between-us.online, fell off the Category A list about a week ago, and the reasons I see each day are inconsistent. I also can no longer connect with chat.xmpp-providers.org. I get "Could not authenticate remote servers". Other than this, my server seems to have no problems connecting to any other server, as far as I can tell.
It seems to have happened coincident with getting updated Let's Encrypt certificates.
Let's Encrypt no longer creates dual-use certificates; they dropped ClientAuth from their certificates. I tried switching to ZeroSSL certificates, but they too have dropped ClientAuth.
Is the certificate change coincidental, or do you know if there's another explanation?
If it is the certificates, what do I do? Prosody does not yet have an ability to serve different certificates for inbound and outbound server connections, and so I cannot present a certificate with ClientAuth any longer.
