Seeking the mythic XMPP based Discord/Element altenative (kbin.earth)

Hello all,

I have been asking sorund in all platforms if anyone knows of a project to build a client with UI/UX format similar to Discord/Element/Slack but based on XMPP?

I was previously pointed to XEP-0503 which outlines the "Spaces" concept for XMPP which would enable the basic backend service to work with "Spaces" and "subchannels", but all I have found so far is Cheogram implementing it in channel info to view the set of channels hosted by a given instance/domain. It works, though not extremely reliably.

Does anyone know of a project explicitly pursing an XMPP competitor to Discord/Element?

Yeah I don't think there's any one client that necessarily hits all the boxes. As long as you stick to Movim, Dino, Gajim, and Conversations you should pretty much be set for most things.

Maybe the only solution is to roll your own client 😉
