I have been advocating for a while how easy it is to integrate a lightweight XMPP server with fediverse instances. The accounts can be easily linked and the user address is the same.

Here on slrpnk.net for example every member automatically also has an XMPP account.

It has some smaller issues, but overall it works well.

I don't think XMPP will work from browser frontends without some kind of custom proxying interface to avoid blocked ports.

Matrix will, though, that's just JSON over HTTPS. I don't know if any services offer automatic Matrix accounts with Fediverse accounts, though.

Every modern XMPP server supports XMPP over HTTPS (via BOSH or Websockets) and it works just fine.

But I wasn't actually taking about integrating it in the UI of the fediverse instance itself. Which would be nice to have, but really not vital at all if you have a nice mobile chat client.
