I see the matrix is more popular than xmpp, but why?

That's the reason I use matrix, I have bridges so that if someone messages me on ANY platform, it goes to matrix and I can respond there.

It's not the best solution, but it's worked well for me and I like having everything in one app

Is that possible without self hosting?

There's a company called Beeper that hosts a server with a bunch of bridges pre-configured.

I thought there were bridges for xmpp too, is that not true?

[-] doctorzeromd@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago

Yes there are. I haven't used them in years tho.
