Nobody told me this, it was just lack of information on my part. Matrix makes a big deal about end2end encryption but Prosody and Openfire don't seem to put that point out front.
Why would they? They are not selling snakeoil ๐
On a more serious note: e2ee is a client feature, so it makes little sense for server software to highlight it.
Is there a client for Android that you would recommend which implements OMEMO?
Conversations from F-Droid is pretty solid.
If you are using Snikket, use the Snikket app. It has OMEMO enabled by default. Otherwise I think Cheogram is good, see: https://joinjabber.org/docs/apps/#
You can use Snikket with other servers too, there is no restriction or special sauce. It's mostly a fork of Conversations.
Prosody and Openfire are servers while end-to-end encryption happens on the client side (that's why it's called end-to-end). It would be kind of strange if a server implementation talks about E2EE. The OMEMO protocol only needs server features which are widely implemented. Maybe there is an ancient XMPP server implementation out there that doesn't support it, but you will be fine with Prosody, Snikket, ejabberd or anything else really.
