When sharing XMPP, what is the best landingpage to show people? I’d like to have something of similar function and quality as https://element.io/ and https://joinmastodon.org/

There is the https://joinjabber.org page. But it is a heavy work in progress that hasn’t made much progress in the last couple of weeks. If you want to contribute join us on our muc or via the experimental anonymous webchat.
That is cool. The problem with this is the communication/branding. It will scare away anyone who isn’t a enthusiast or olds-chool type person. Something like joinmastodon.org would be the perfect thing I believe, but it would require a loooot of work.
I kind of agree (and the joinmastodon or joinlemmy pages are actually open source and could be adapted), but there is a strong counter opinion by the ones running the joinjabber.org servers that it needs to be as simple (and Javascript less / ToR compatible etc.) as possible. Long discussions…
I think the joinjabber.org website is neat. It’s not overwhelming, clean, chooses what kind of account or server you need for you. I like it
Oh, I know this whole tirade from organizational work at freesoftware and free culture organizations in Norway. The surething way of a software dying is this way of thinking (I mean, not making any compromises and doing things idealisticly at the cost of reach to new usergroups).
I guess a compromise would be to have several versions of the website.
