Let me stress that there are many various XMPP software https://xmpp.org/software/clients.html and all of them may access the groups, so from various devices and operating systems. I am using XMPP through Emacs. https://salut-a-toi.org/ may be a good client for groups. > I do would like to note that the solution I gave might not be intended > to private conversations.

Basic social network is outside of digital networks, it is in real world, we have friends, groups, families, we network in real world. In digital world, a web based forum is social network. BBS system where people connected with modem and some still do, is a social network. Email mailing list is a social network. On XMPP I am participating in group chat for Conversations application, there are so many people, it is definitely social network, similarly like IRC chat. What do you mean? > Whilest XMPP is a chat, you cannot expect immediate responses also, > due to agenda and timezone differences. I hope that characteristic is not telling that XMPP is not social network. In any global communication one cannot expect immediate responses. Maybe you mean that as chat, that messages may not be available to users? There is option to set it up, so any user that did not receive the chat message due to being offline, could get all previous chat messages, at least for some previously configurable time period. There is also option to log the chat messages and display it on the HTML. https://salut-a-toi.org/ has option to make blog and publish web pages from XMPP. XMPP and clients, both are hackable. I can imagine a publishing XMPP bot that monitors or listens to social chat of a group of people, now each time you tell to bot something, bot can do publishing for you, for example publish image, video on the web.
