January 2022 #Snikket server release is live!
The main new feature allows users to import + export their account data. This is the final achievement of our @NGI_DAPSI funded project on improving account portability and migration in #XMPP.
More info: snikket.org/blog/jan-2022-se…
If you self-host a Snikket server, we released a security update today that you should be aware of... for more details check our blog post: stage.snikket.org/blog/snikk…

Hot off the press!
On Getting Things Done: A Conversation with Matthew Wild from @snikket_im. We helped improve the user experience of Snikket through a heuristic review, a user study, & several #UX design explorations.

A few people have asked privately so it's probably worth publicly reassuring:
Snikket (and the software it builds upon) is *not* affected by the recent log4j vulnerability (CVE-2021-44228), so your hosted and self-hosted Snikket instances are safe ✔️
Happy to announce the November 2021 release of the Snikket server!
You can find a blog post with an overview of the release and links to upgrade instructions here: snikket.org/blog/nov-2021-se…
🎉 New Snikket Android release is out on F-Droid and Google Play! Various fixes and improvements merged from Conversations, and a new in-call dialpad for navigating automated phone systems via bridges such as cheogram.com.
New iOS app & server releases following soon!
If you want to migrate your family or other social group away from proprietary apps but don't know how, that's what we're here for. You can self-host Snikket or sign up for our hosted platform, and invite your contacts.

Help us improve Snikket - a safe, secure, and open-sourced IM platform - by participating in our usability study. Available slots are open until September 17 and you can book and read more about it here snikket.org/app/ios/
🎉 Our #iOS app is finally public!🎉

This is a huge milestone for the project and #XMPP. The app link will be added in the next server update (along with some other related fixes), but the blog has manual instructions for admins who just can't wait 🙂
Exciting news! Thanks to funding from the Open Technology Fund, the excellent folks at Simply Secure will be working with us to improve the usability of #Snikket. You can also participate in the study, no expertise required :)

Imagine this: The messaging 🗨 platform you use to connect with your family 👨👧👦and friends shuts down tomorrow. How do you secure your #data?
Does this worry you? Then you must meet project XPORTA - #XMPP Account Portability!

The next stage of the project is the exciting one! Over the next couple of months I will be working on implementing these new protocols, and producing the initial software to help people migrate their data between services.
So thankful for the support of @NGI_DAPSI! ❤️

I just submitted the second XEP ("Moved 2.0") related my work on the #XMPP account migration project. Both this and the XEP-0227 update I submitted a few weeks ago are now going through the XMPP standards process.

For you podcast fans! Snikket was featured and discussed in episode 89 of TuxJam, a podcast blending open-source software discussions and Creative Commons music.

A nice surprise, and always great to hear real-world Snikket stories!
We've added and expanded a lot of questions on our FAQ page at snikket.org/faq/
Many thanks to @DanylStrype for gathering the questions and putting together the bulk of the answers, and thanks to everyone who suggested questions!
Missing anything? Let us know!
You can now manage user roles (admin, etc.) via the Snikket web interface. Oh, and user invitation pages now have an @fdroidorg download link for the app! ❤️
Just published the May update to the Snikket server software. This includes a few security fixes from Prosody, so upgrade soon!

Very excited to announce that @NGI_DAPSI will be funding user account data export and migration in #Snikket and #XMPP! This project will give people more control over their data and ensure they are never locked into a specific XMPP provider. @NGI4eu
