> my current primary use case is running a matrix/sms gateway on my phone so I can forward my SMS to my desktop; the xmpp one I used eons ago was slightly more cumbersome.

Can you tell me more about this? I'm interested in doing this very thing.

If you're looking for something off-the-shelf, there is https://jmp.chat/ (basically linking a phone number with your XMPP account, works with Snikket).

If you're more into self-hosting, take a look at this route: https://sms4you.xama.nu/

I am using this app: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/eu.droogers.smsmatrix/

You create a login for it, and put your identity into it. When messages come in, it creates a 2-person room with itself and you, and can type your sms responses. MMS's don't work, sadly, but a few people I regularly use it with send .SMIL image attachments that get forwarded.
