The Matrix Trashfire
When https://siskin.im/ is seriously touted as the best iOS client for XMPP, you already lost 50% of the market share in the US. And if you don't have any usable app for 50% of your users in one of the most important markets, you can not really claim "interoperability", can you?
Don't get me wrong, it would be great if more people were using XMPP. Now that I am more involved in the Fediverse space I'm learning how many wheels are being reinvented and XMPP has already solved. If more people learned about https://movim.eu I'd be able to shut off Communick and move on to do something else to do with my life, but the reality is that XMPP failed to achieve critical mass because it never had someone to complete control the protocol.

What's the status and progress of decentralized social media?
Let me put it in another way: of all the existing projects out there, which one does actually bring material benefit to the users and publishers compared with, e.g, Mastodon, Matrix, Movim or Nostr?

Ask HN: How might HN build a social network together?
For social networking atop XMPP, see https://movim.eu/
Combined with the in-development ActivityPub gateway from Libervia, interop with Mastodon, Pleroma and others becomes possible too. The decentralized social web space is quite active at the moment.

Instagram Is Over
If you don't care at all about poluar figures and just want to share content with people you actually know, https://movim.eu would be a much better alternative.

Ask HN: Private group chat with no registration
> No registration needed for group members
This one is the most troublesome I think.
Usually this is in a conferencing solutions though, so no such thing as chat rooms, I think.
Otherwise I would suppose something like XMPP with a web frontend, eg https://movim.eu/
ejabberd supports anonymous users, though I can't say if movim or any else web-client supports that natively

Movim – A decentralized social platform built on XMPP
I like the idea but the landing page doesn't inspire confidence. My browser window is half with on a normal macbook and most of the text and images overlap making parts of it un-readable.

The first beta of Slidge (XMPP bridges) is out
Hi, Movim developer here https://movim.eu/
I'm really happy to finally see some modern bridging features integrated with XMPP and compatible with the latest standard (reactions, quotes, status...) !

Instant Messaging: XMPP or Websocket
So XMPP is an awesome protocol in theory. Also many issues you're trying to solve are probably already solved in one of the specifications and I personally think that XMPP is missing out on clients. Some clients are nice (i.e. Conversations or Dino) but they are not as appealing as Telegram or Discord.

Signal losing SMS, what are you switching to for SMS?
I never give out my true cell phone number to anyone. In cases where I absolutely have to use SMS, I use Conversations with jmp.chat to send SMS over XMPP from an alternate number.

Movim – A decentralized social platform built on XMPP
Unfortunately I haven't found a mobile XMPP client that has the same features as Movim.
For example, conversations.im still lacks Message Reactions, Threads, and Publish-Subscribe:

Tim Cook's response to improving Android texting compatibility: 'buy your mom an iPhone' | The company appears to have no plans to fix 'green bubbles' anytime soon.
Regarding audits, they happen regularly in the XMPP ecosystem, and if you are looking for e.g. a mobile client which has a good track record, I would suggest to look-up https://conversations.im/ (or https://quicksy.im/ since you are okay with contact discovery using mobile phone numbers), and perhaps https://siskin.im/ as an iOS equivalent.

Chat app to allow messaging between my daughter and I?
If you are really set on a LAN-only setup you could look at Prosody (combined with an Android app such as Conversations) which Snikket is based upon. It's not as "ready to go, out of the box" as Snikket and therefore requires a slightly higher skill level, but in exchange it is a lot more customizable and adaptable to different kinds of deployment scenarios.
