The telegram app has a very nice interface, but I want to use a self hosted xmpp chat server.

Is there maybe a fork of telegram that makes it work with a self hosted xmpp server? I would imagine that this is possible.

If not, is there anything that at least gets close to how nice telegram UI is?

    You are asking about the server, not the apps.

    This is another “I WANT EVERYTHING FOR CHEAP!” post in this thread, but with lower effort because this is easily searchable to find the answer.

      No. Please refer to the third word in the body of my post, which spells “app”.

      This is another “I WANT EVERYTHING FOR CHEAP!” post

      Where? I am not seeing what you’re seeing. Feel free to quote my post to show where this is, and please demonstrate how it is “i want everything for cheap!” in all caps.

        The “app”, as you call it, only subscribes to the services provided. Whether you know it (apparently not), any features you described are on the server side (as to your post title). You are asking about the server, though you seem to not know it. Why else would you post in “self-HOSTED”. Applications aren’t hosted.

        Wow.

          And?

          any features you described are on the server side (as to your post title)

          None of the features I described (the interface) are on the server (the interface).

          If you think otherwise, you’ll have to prove it to be taken seriously :)

          You are asking about the server

          I am not. Again, please refer to the first three words in the body of post. In general, I urge you to read posts before you respond to them.

          Why else would you post in “self-HOSTED”. Applications aren’t hosted.

          it’s in regards to a self-hosted xmpp server.

                Go for it. I’d ask you to stop asking questions which are easily found elsewhere. Good luck!

      OP already clearly stated he want to use XMPP. What OP is asking is some client features the functionality of Telegram client. Or a fork of Telegram client, gutted out every signle line of code interact with the backend, replace them with a XMPP client library.

          I think OP is quite clear that he wants something resembles to Telegram’s UI, but works with XMPP instead. The title is just part of the context. You still have to read the body, which uses terms “interface” and “UI”. This means he never intend something server side.

          I won’t say your comment is inaccurate, but taken out of context and misinterpret what the OP means.

            His title and demeanor says different. He has no idea.
