Zulip won my last bake-off for chat systems. Integration was easy and the topic method of providing threads was amazing. The only feature it was missing was federation. In the XMPP world, you could communicate with users on other XMPP instances. With Zulip, you can only communicate with local users. Do you know if this is still the case?

Yes, I doubt federation will ever be added.

Zulip has a cross server bridge using a bot that you might be interested in: https://github.com/zulip/python-zulip-api/tree/f47559e68dfcc497d78485f3f3c85616c6e511d8/zulip/integrations/bridge_between_zulips https://github.com/zulip/python-zulip-api/tree/f47559e68dfcc...

As other folks have mentioned, Zulip has a number of cross-server integrations with both the Zulip protocol and other protocols like XMPP. There's a few we document here as well as Matterbridge: * https://zulipchat.com/integrations/communication https://zulipchat.com/integrations/communication * https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge We'll eventually add a more native way of connecting a stream between two Zulip servers; we just want to be sure we do that right; federation done sloppily is asking for a lot of spam/abuse problems down the line.
