    I wonder, does anyone have stats about client market share for xmpp?

  3. Daniel

    I don't think it's possible to get meaningful stats on that

  4. Zash

    90% whatsapp, 9% zoom, 1% conversations & forks ?

  5. Ellenor Malik

    I think the question specifically refers to federated XMPP

  6. Daniel

    90% whatsapp, 9% zoom, 1% adium & pidgin, 0.1% Conversations and forks?

  7. Holger

    ejabberd had a module for that ages ago. From what I remember the shares look like "60% Pidgin 20% Miranda 10% Psi". Might be slightly outdated.

  8. Zash

    Does Link Mauve want to share the jabber.fr stats page?

  9. MattJ

    Prosody also has a module for it - and I can tell you that it varies considerably between servers, especially the share of Pidgin vs. Conversations is a good way to gauge the age of the server

    I could make a good guess as to the most popular client on conversations.im

  12. Sam

    It's blabber, isn't it? *pokerface*

  13. moparisthebest

    no that'd be on blabber.i.... hmm good point

  14. Guus

    I will comfortably bet that 75% of regular end-user clients connecting to Openfire is Spark. I will also comfortably bet that on any other server implementation, that percentage is comfortably below 5%.

  15. Menel

    I wonder what the 11% unknown will be. Really a diverse community there in jabberfr..

  17. qy

    Does the module check all clients seen by the server then? Or just accounts on the server?

  18. Zash

    local connected clients

  19. Zash

    I believe it's using https://modules.prosody.im/mod_measure_client_identities.html
