Comment on Is (Matrix) Element Server Suite overkill for a dozen users?

I just switched to snikket from matrix in the last 2 weeks. I ran a matrix server for 6 years, for just 3 users. Snikket works perfectly, and the phone apps work so well without the need to constantly authenticate with a second device. Just log in.

XMPP is a stable protocol. And snikket has ssl certs, audio/video calling, and media uploads baked right in.

Give it a try on a modest vps and I don’t think you will be disappointed. I’m sure happy with it.

Dio you run any bridge (I forget the XMPP nomenclature). One of the reasons I run matrix (synapse) myself is to have a single interface for many instant-message platforms. I’ve been looking into migrating to XMPP (im sure my matrix deployment can be slimmed down but for now it’s a behemoth taking 4 GB of RAM…) but I’ve been somewhat discouraged by the process

  @signaleleven can you describe how you bridge matrix to other spaces and what's the use case? can it be bridged from/to matrix? thx @thagoat

    This, from the project I use to deploy my server, could be a starting point

  Same for me, I initially went with Matrix for the bridges.
  
  I think for XMPP it’s gateway or transport, Slidge author (Nicoco) has developed some in the last year.

    Thanks, that’s what I had found. I will set up prosody somewhere and try…

Why did you switch? I went from Matrix to XMPP around 2019 since Riot/RiotX (matrix client) at the time would not get notifications in time and/or was a battery hog. And then went back to Matrix when it seemed more stable, to avoid messing with prosody configs.

  Apps had notification problems, and crashes. My gf stopped getting pictures unless she was on home wifi. Just weirdness. I set up another instance with docker on a different server, and that worked better, but 8 was tired of the silliness. Those were the main reasons I switched. I’m also a tinkerer, so I enjoy trying new projects.
