It's not the best solution, but it's worked well for me and I like having everything in one appIs that possible without self hosting?There's a company called Beeper that hosts a server with a bunch of bridges pre-configured.I thought there were bridges for xmpp too, is that not true?Yes there are. I haven't used them in years tho.XMPP parlance calls it “gateways” https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0100.htmlYes, and with fresh new releases of the software. https://www.nicoco.fr/blog/2024/04/09/slidge-first-release/
