I wish xmpp would be as wide spread as matrix. It is so much more lightweight (prosody vs synapse) and doesn't make requests to anything else than the people i chat with.

Agreed. After trying out Matrix, SimpleX Chat, and XMPP for everyday use with my spouse, XMPP has been the most reliable and has instant message delivery.

Yea I'm always depressed by how long it takes the Element client to refresh (update the history of) a medium number of subscribed channels. It's just text messages, why does it take so long?

Slowness of all kinds have the major goal for Matrix to fix in the last few months, they recently presented very impressive improvements at FOSDEM.

Wait, how is that different from Matrix? My Matrix server only syncs with rooms that I've joined, which is the people I'm chatting with. It's not like a Matrix server just starts syncing random rooms you're not in. I assume that an XMPP server has to accept events on your behalf when you're offline, right?

What XMPP clients are good to pair with Dino when chatting with people on other platforms? I've heard Conversations is good on Android but I'd love to hear about interop with iOS, Web, and Windows/Mac clients if anyone cares to share anecdotes

cheogram is my current favorite fork/upgrade of conversations. it works really well with jmp.chat for an xmpp phone number and to text your friends via that phone number from xmpp. I personally like gajim better than dino, but dino 0.4 hasn't made it to my flavor of arch yet so I am waiting to find out if it's worth switching on the desktop or not. interoperability isn't a problem as long as your clients all support the xeps the others are choosing to use (this should be true of most full fledged clients).

There is an unofficial windows port over at https://github.com/LAGonauta/dino/tree/master-windows-change... which works quite well for me

Does XMPP support conversation threads?

The latest version of the Cheogram app (Android) has a neat implementation (demo video: https://kumi.tube/w/1LQQp5Uia4u8Pdojxen1y8 ).

At the XMPP summit in Brussels last week we had several developers across different projects converge on an approach based on this, so I'd expect to start seeing even more clients supporting threads in the near future.
