# XMPP chat integration

*This documentation is a work in progress.*

Accounts from the [https://slrpnk.net](https://slrpnk.net) Lemmy instance automatically function as XMPP accounts via the same federated address.

This means that your XMPP JID (Jabber ID) is identical to your fediverse ID on Lemmy. So if your slrpnk.net Lemmy user account is called `ursula`, then both are `ursula@slrpnk.net`

We also run a [Movim](https://movim.eu) web-client on [https://movim.slrpnk.net](https://movim.slrpnk.net) for chat and long-form blogging.

[Learn more about XMPP here](https://joinjabber.org).

#### Note for iOS/MacOS users:

If you are trying to use [Monal](https://monal-im.org/) 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.
