How in-use is XMPP these days? Are there communities built around it like IRC/matrix? Are there common services that play nice with open source XMPP clients?

- pabs3 4y agoIn my experience IRC is much more popular than XMPP, although after the freenode situation some folks switched to self-hosted XMPP instead of IRC.
- zaik 4y agoYou are probably using something that builds on it. It's the IETF standard for IM, scales very well and it still seems to be the industry standard for large messaging systems (WhatsApp, Zoom, Jitsi, Nintendo Switch presence... are known to be using XMPP). Cool community projects which also care about the federation aspects are jmp.chat, snikket.org or movim.eu (a federated social network built on XMPP PubSub nodes that broadcast ATOM items). There are communities that are on XMPP, but I currently use it mostly for friends and family.
