Bhante Subharo :xmpp:<a href="https://c.im/tags/XMPP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#XMPP</a> enthusiasts out there: what would you say the ultimate Achilles heel of the XMPP ecosystem is, at present? Fragmentation of clients? What?My sense is that it's this: when one goes to store an XMPP address in one's addressbook, there doesn't seem to be standard way to store an XMPP address. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Android</a> doesn't have that as an allowable field, and <a href="https://c.im/tags/Thunderbird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Thunderbird</a> and <a href="https://c.im/tags/Nextcloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nextcloud</a> have an "Instant Messaging" field, where the type can be set to "XMPP". But are these two compatible with each other when trying to sync between them? Edit: Yes, but there's a catch: *the XMPP address must be prefixed with "xmpp:"*So "user@foo.bar" is not an OK XMPP address, but "<a href="xmpp:user@foo.bar" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">xmpp:user@foo.bar</a>" is.Then to make matters worse, now there's a wish to change the labeling of "XMPP Address" to "Chat ID": <a href="https://gultsch.social/@daniel/114012904576436518" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://gultsch.social/@daniel/114012904576436518</a>It might be a long time before the address synchy-ness ever works again between Android <-> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Davx5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Davx5</a> <-> Nextcloud <->ThunderbirdNote: Android allows a "Jabber" type for an IM address, where you *don't* prefix the address with "xmpp:".
