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

    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.

      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.
