XMPP servers / communities? (programming.dev)

Hey all. I started writing an XMPP client just for learning purposes and I'm not sure on how widely used it actually is. Where is it actually used? Are there communities out there that actually use it?

Wasn't sure where to actually post this. Sorry if its a bit off topic

We have an !xmpp@slrpnk.net community here on Lemmy. Our SLRPNK instance also gives an XMPP account to every member automatically and hosts a Movim webclient for easy access.

XMPP is certainly more popular for private groups and 1:1 chatting so you will not find that many large public channels, but there is a search engine here: https://search.jabber.network/tags/

The JoinJabber project also has a curated list of recommended channels and communities: https://joinjabber.org/docs/faqs/rooms/

Awesom, thanks for that. I'll do some digging to see how widely used it is. Cheers

Is there a use case with bots and xmpp?

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What do you mean with bots in this context?

[–] ZebraGoose@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have seen telegram and Whatsapp bots that vänt control various selfhosted apps or just report from them. I just wondered if that was a thing on xmpp too.

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The reverse, i.e. getting outage notifications and so on via xmpp is quite common.

I can't really think of any usecase to control self-hosted apps from a messenger, but sure, technically you could write such a bot quite easily.

Ah okay, notifications would be nice.

I was thinking about n8n integrations for example
