This weekend, I'm setting up a private XMPP server for a small group of people. They will insist on connecting using tracking devices, so I'm looking for clients on both Android and iOS. Conversations on Android and SiskinIM on iOS seem like they would be a good fit. Both are under GPLv3, both support OMEMO, etc.
Do any of you gentlemen have experience with those clients? Please tell me what you think of them, or if I would be better off recommending something else. Thank you.
@mckinley No experience sorry but having looked into it recently I'm always hearing Conversations is the best as far as Android goes, especially for your more typical folk (normies as Luke Smith would call them)
@mckinley No experience here sorry and I barely used XMPP in the day, stuck with IRC š

@mckinley I've used both. Conversations is fine; Blabber.im and Monocles are forks with very minor changes. I'm using Monocles atm mainly because the forks added an amoled option. Monal is the other iOS app that might get a little more maintenance. iOS options are weaker.
@mckinley Also, Snikket is supposed to be a simpler way to setup a prosody server. Movim adds blogging to xmpp, but I think the web front end can be used with any server.
@mckinley @laz I love it already š

@mckinley @laz @prologic Wow! So cool! And what a mature set of documentation! šš¤š\n\nI might have to try running a server. I also like the way they're looking for a nominal fee to use their server(s); I think folks expecting free services is a path that leads to problems.
@mckinley @laz Ah -- reading this convo backwards š -- I think I'm actually running a simple Prosody server as part of my Jitsi Meet set-up; exploring that has been on my to do list for more than a year now. š
That is awesome, especially as it leverages XMPP and maintains compatibility.
