Hallo Everybody, searching for XMPP info I landed here.... the original question for which I was looking for an answer is the following....is the actual xmpp protocol able to manage channels? In my mind Telegram channels is what would fit me .... thanks everyone will give me a reply...

Luca: Multi-User-Chats is probably what you want. Most modern clients should support it. See https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html

Possibly in combination with Message Archive Management to store messages on the server and being able to load them on multiple clients: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0313.html

Thanks Zak for your reply ... MUC haven't the same flow channels have... in the MUC everybody can both read and write, while in channels users only receive and read ... no replies, no sendings.... for example meteo service use Telegram channels to quickly share alerts about forecast on adverse conditions.......if you want compare them as a kind of "newsletter" via messaging app ...... as far as what I quickly read there isn't a specific extension or command able to set this flow automatically, but a workaround could be to arrange a MUC where the Administrator manage about users permissions to read and write ....... could it be?

MUC where only a few can write? That's perfectly doable, usually called "moderated" where voice must be granted to those who join before they can speak.

There's also things based on pubsub, like the social network stuff Movim does.

and thank you for your suggestions... I really didn't know Movin ... I will take a look at that
