Hello!

Does anyone know of a public Prosody XMPP server? In light of recent events in Matrix I wanted to try XMPP.

Also could someone explain OMEMO encryption to me? I know Prosody supports it, but is it on by default?

Thanks!

EDIT: Found an instance

#XMPP #Matrix #OMEMO #Prosody #ProsodyIM

@QuadRadical I don't know of any public Prosody servers but as for the second part: OMEMO is (mostly) a client-side issue. I've self-hosted Prosody before, and I can say from experience that yes, OMEMO works fine from the server-side perspective by default - because OMEMO is almost entirely a client-side thing, and iirc the only things required by the server are not even specific to OMEMO. If you use Gajim, it should mostly Just Work.

@hexaheximal Okay, thanks! I was planning to use Dino as a client. So is it automatic when making DMs? But not joining more public rooms?

@QuadRadical E2EE is enabled by default in the latest version of Dino and most other modern xmpp clients.
