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?

I've been digging into thos heavily regarding XMPP. Good news is there is some backend development going on that will enable this, bad news is its going to take a bit of time and then the clients will have to adopt or be developed. Maybe I will try out vibecoding it, lol.

    That's nice to hear! I would love to see XMPP get the love it deserves.
