I see the matrix is more popular than xmpp, but why?

I guess I don’t use either because no one I know does. A few friends and I have a signal group chat but other than that 🀷

That's the reason I use matrix, I have bridges so that if someone messages me on ANY platform, it goes to matrix and I can respond there.

It's not the best solution, but it's worked well for me and I like having everything in one app

are there no bridges for xmpp?

There are, but I haven't used them since like 2012, and they were pretty janky then. They're probably better now.
