Just a post to say the goods of using SimpleX instead of others "private" messenger. First it doesn't not require any id, phone number, etc... Can create how many accounts that you want! Decentralized servers, everyone can run and use own servers, and communicate with others! Big privacy side! Look at this one of the best https://privacyspreadsheet.com/messaging-apps. The only negative is the usability of the app, this is why it needs support and be democratize to gain attraits to people, and maybe one day be one the most used messenger app...

How can i start? I mean its not like i have any friends on simpleX so whats the point? Does it have public groups that one can search for?

From SimpleX creator, it doesn't scale well with groups >50 ppl, so it is not going to be your Telegram/Facebook/social media replacement.

No, I meant Matrix. I don't know anyone who uses XMPP. There are a lot of people on Matrix.

I wouldn't use SimpleX for public and large groups, only for small and 1:1, use SimpleX with your friends ans family
