XMPP Service Operators - 2022-01-27

    Hey guys, I'm trying to help a community migrate over from Discord to an XMPP server. Is there a good existing method for people to join several MUC's at once? We'll basically need to replicate the Discord UX of a "guild" (as Discord's "servers" are internally called) consisting of multiple rooms.

    Hey stephenvk, something like https://modules.prosody.im/mod_default_bookmarks.html

  3. MattJ

    Or even https://modules.prosody.im/mod_groups_muc_bookmarks.html which Snikket uses

  4. Licaon_Kter

    Or mod_default_rooms for ejabberd stephenvk https://github.com/processone/ejabberd-contrib

    MattJ: > Or even https://modules.prosody.im/mod_groups_muc_bookmarks.html which Snikket uses No documentation yet :( How is this different from the other one?

  6. MattJ

    The first one applies to all users on a host, and the list is specified through config. The second is per-group, and config is dynamic through the db.

  7. MattJ

    Limitation of the second is that it currently only supports one MUC per group, but that's something I want to fix

  8. Licaon_Kter

    Nice

    So stephenvk would want their own xmpp server / vhost with some default groups and possibly Prosody with great invitations? And they would possibly want to exclude anyone not on their server from joining the MUCs.

    It needs a bunch of glue, but most of the pieces are there. Including that Discord theme for Converse.js - https://github.com/conversejs/converse.js/pull/1167

  11. MattJ

    Someone just needs to piece it together, make a docker container, a name and cute logo, and voila

  12. Licaon_Kter

    At least now it's a "server" :)

  13. MattJ

    :P

  14. stephenvk

    That mod_groups_muc_bookmarks solution looks really cool, thanks.

  15. stephenvk

    Wait, so basically a "group" is all the users who will automatically have a room added to their bookmarks?

  16. Licaon_Kter

    _a room full of grouped muc users_ :))

    stephenvk, it's relatively new and doesn't have docs yet, but it's used as part of Snikket's "circles" implementation, which might give you an idea: https://snikket.org/service/help/features/circles/ (basically "circles" == "groups" in this context)

  19. MattJ

    (and so maybe "circle" == "group" == "guild", with some allowance for variation)

  21. Herman
