Modern XMPP project discussion - 2025-01-03

Out of curiosity, are there any server or client projects currently implementing GC3, or just the text and logic of the XEP still being drafted first? ✏

GC3 is afaik a remix and standardisation of existing MUC modules, so Prosody at least should have it mostly covered already.

Well, didn't know that was a UX thing in Conversations: if you add a contact where the domain-part of the JID is to the pattern of "chat.(domain)", it warns that "This looks like a channel address"

Maybe there should be a list of recommended user-friendly subdomains to use for the main domain (used for accounts), if a person doesn't want to (or can't) use their plain domain) to avoid the confusion ✏

Or have there been any advancements with delegating to a server identified by a subdomain, from the plain domain name (e.g. have users identified as *@example.com, while the actual server is xmpp.example.com, and only has a cert for xmpp.example.com and other XMPP-related services; without needing example.com in the cert)?

Yes that works fine via SRV records

Just make a wildcard cert 🤷‍♂️

Didn't know it worked fine from SRV records, thought there was more things involved. And yes, I have wildcard certs set up for a few servers.

arcanicanis, chat. is a common prefix for user domains as well, maybe your client should do a service discovery instead to be certain that a particular domain is for users or for channels/groups.
