I’m wondering what XMPP clients people use and what they like about each particular one.
Not that I am looking for one, really just wondering what people like to use. :D
EDIT: Also, more and more people around me are starting to use XMPP, so it is good to learn what to recommend for various use-cases.
During the Covid-19 pandemic I was very happy to use Conversations for video calls. Quality seemed better than with Signal during that time, and with Conversations you could resize the video window if you needed to do something on your phone during the call. I was not sure Signal could do that in these days. I also like Dino IM on the desktop but lately I don’t have any other people I know who can be bothered to use XMPP over Signal or email.
There’s a Dino fork https://dinox.handwerker.jetzt/ I’m not sure what to think about it, it looks too fancy and I dislike the Most secure part but it claims to do calls better than the original Dino IM.
Don’t worry about having people to talk to, XMPP is going through a renaissance!
😀
Yes, I’m on Dino too because it just works great and video is quite stable in combination with Conversations and of course it supports Omemo.
Before that I used Gajim but had to compile it myself and sometimes issues with plugins. Maybe it’s as easy as Dino nowadays.
I’ve used Gajim last week for testing and installing it with Flatpak was easy. And I think I remember that for OMEMO no extra plugins were needed with Gajim.
