  XMPP obviously. Have a look at joinjabber.org

    Still staggering to me that XMPP isn’t the default, since it was used in many chat apps in the late 90’s.

      Does it do screen sharing, group calls, etc.?

        Screensharing is the only thing i dont think it does. Voice and video good. See snikket or conversations.im

        I believe group calling is only a thing certain clients (e.g. Dino, Movim) support, although there is a initiative to implement it on protocol level as far as I am aware.

      What client(s) do you use/prefer?

      Like many, I am looking for a Discord replacement and (possibly hot take) I largely like Discord’s layout, UI, and chat flow. That is to say, I like threads, channels, categories, and “servers” (spaces, what-have-you) to partition my chat experience. There are a few Matrix clients that replicate this closely, but the XMPP ones I have seen so far at least were not very enjoyable user experiences for me.

      (Not for nothing, I also have been able to get a Synapse server running on my homelab, but have thus far not been able to successfully get an XMPP server running so that’s not helping my experience either)

      Happy to check out your suggestions.

        it seems like movim is the most discord-ish xmpp client
