Hey all. I started writing an XMPP client just for learning purposes and I'm not sure on how widely used it actually is. Where is it actually used? Are there communities out there that actually use it?

Wasn't sure where to actually post this. Sorry if its a bit off topic

To answer your question on where it's used, have you seen https://providers.xmpp.net/ ?

(It might be worth testing your client against a few different servers...)

That's where I found who to use, until I get to setting up prosody at home.

Lots there to take a look at. I'll definitely be setting up unit tests to test out multiple servers for sure.
