Is there a use case with bots and xmpp?

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

No bots in XMPP, please.

If that is true, I haven’t noticed anything yet.

What do you mean with bots in this context?

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.

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