Update:
It has been almost 5 months since I started running a Snikket server. I only had to update once and that was very easy. I faced no issues as of now on the server side. The uptime has been 100%.
This is a blog post I have written on my experience https://fsci.in/blog/snikket-experience/
I found @snikket_im project chatroom as very helping and welcoming. They try their best to help newbies in self-hosting, which usually takes a lot of patience.
In this context I would also like to point to the #openEngiadina project by @pukkamustard that switched from #ActivityPub to #XMPP as the underlying protocol. It is really exciting and will still have #ActivityStreams support and with #Libervia be a part of the wider #Fediverse .
I'm very interested in the XMPP -> ActivityPub bridge that @Goffi is working on.
I might look into adding microblogging to Converse so that I can join the fediverse from my #XMPP account.
To the extent that people participate in the #ActivityPub fediverse via (supporting) XMPP clients, it might even become feasible to have OMEMO E2EE encrypted posts, especially DMs.
AFAIK you'd still need XMPP to fetch a prekey (and device bundle) for the user you'd like to start an encrypted session with
I'm excited to share with you that #PGPainless is getting funded by @NGIZero (NGI Assure) for creating an implementation of the Web-of-Trust!

ℹ️ I've just created a "libervia" community on the new xmpp.net #Lemmy instance: https://community.xmpp.net/c/libervia
Feel free to talk there about anything #libervia related: the multi-frontends #xmpp client, the #activitypub gateway, the #pubsub component, etc.
Of course the XMPP Muc is still the best place to have a quick answer: xmpp:libervia@chat.jabberfr.org?join
#XMPP community now has its own #Lemmy server, https://community.xmpp.net/ Welcome to the #ActivityPub side of #Fediverse, XMPP.net!

I wrote down what I've been trying to do with #XMPP for the past few months/years. We're not there yet, but it's doable and I'm not giving up.

The wonderful #XMPP-client #dino now supports audio/video calls between two or more people! Especially now many of us are stuck at home, we need a way to collaborate & socialize in a privacy-friendly way. Dino uses the XMPP-protocol for decentralized communication and with an intuitive user interface, helps you reach out to friends, family and co-workers, both for larger groups with a server in the middle as well as private groups directly peer-to-peer -> https://dino.im/blog/2022/02/dino-0.3-release/

Aujourd'hui j'ai eu la très agréable surprise de voir que le Displo que j'ai reçu avec mon abonnement était emballé dans du papier et non pas du plastique. Et comme d’habitude, nombre d'articles ont l'air super intéressants.
Merci @mdiplo !
