How does it differ from Matrix?
IIRC they're just different protocols. Snickett is XMPP, while something like Synapse is Matrix. XMPP is older than Matrix as a protocol, and from what I've heard is it's far lighter on resources than Matrix, at least Synapse. Looked into XMPP when I was researching how I was going to set up my private messaging and it seemed nice, but lack of good iOS clients at the time made it a non-starter as my family and friends are mixed between iOS and Android. Don't know if the client situation has changed however.
thanks
Sure thing. But it seems my position on iOS client support is out of date. poVoq said that there's a couple decent options for XMPP clients now for iOS.
