XMPP account

When registering on Outmo.de you automatically get an XMPP (aka Jabber) account on the same user ID.

So if your Fediverse ID is mrfancypants@outmo.de you can also be reached via the XMPP federation on the same JID.

Learn more about XMPP on Joinjabber.org.

Our server runs the latest version of Ejabberd and you can check the health status here.

You can use the F-hub.org XMPP invite page to share your contact and invite other XMPP users to chat rooms.

Apps

We currently recommend the following mobile apps for XMPP:

Cheogram for Android
Monal for iOS

On desktop PCs use either Gajim or Dino.

Note for iOS/MacOS users:

If you are trying to use Monal with our XMPP service you will likely encounter a scary warning about MITM-prone PLAIN auth. This is due to the way our XMPP server needs to validate your password against the Lemmy database and sadly can not be changed.

But you can go to the advanced connection settings and enable the "Allow MITM-prone PLAIN auth..." setting and then it should work. In case that still fails, try removing the account from Monal completely and start again.

Unified Push distributor support

Our server supports using XMPP as a UnifiedPush distributor.

You can use up.outmo.de as the endpoint to configure it in your Android XMPP client.

Upcoming features

There is still some work to do to enable video calls on our Ejabberd XMPP server. Hopefully we will be able to enable it by the time Monal has full support for it as well.

There is also a plan to enable some Slidge gateways to other chat services like Telegram or Signal.
