Hey all. I started writing an XMPP client just for learning purposes and I’m not sure on how widely used it actually is. Where is it actually used? Are there communities out there that actually use it?

Wasn’t sure where to actually post this. Sorry if its a bit off topic

    XMPP is truly decentralized with no single point that collects this kind of data. There have been some attempts over the years, but they always failed to capture more than a fraction of the network. A recent one is more artistic in nature, probably realizing the futility of it.

    The popular Conversations app has sold 100k+ units on the PlayStore, but since you can also legally get it for free, that is probably only part of the actual users.

      Thats great, thanks. By the sounds of it I can probably continue with developed, I just need to find where people are going and what servers have the biggest population.

      Thanks again!
