AFAIK, xmpp is easier to maintain and requires less resources.

Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 13 hours agoHow would you compare setting up your own Matrix server vs an XMPP server?
I was going to recommend XMPP to OP, and I don’t have any experience with setting up Matrix.

I have no skin in either game, so I couldn’t give you an honest answer here. I only suggested matrix because I believe it would fit the scenario

Selfhosting both. Continuwuity is more straightforward to set up than ejabberd, mostly because of easier docs, less ports, and less subdomains required. It also comes with most things you need rather than a bunch of toggled-on modules, and I’d say Matrix being HTTP makes it more “conventional” for beginners.
XMPP is significantly more lightweight though, being a message passing protocol rather than state syncing.
