The telegram app has a very nice interface, but I want to use a self hosted xmpp chat server.
Is there maybe a fork of telegram that makes it work with a self hosted xmpp server? I would imagine that this is possible.
If not, is there anything that at least gets close to how nice telegram UI is?
Telegram isn’t open source, so I don’t think you’re going to find forks of it.
I stand corrected. Telegram’s client is open source (GPL) and what OP is asking for is reasonable.
Telegram client is open source, and there are many forks of it with enhanced features (forkgram, nekogram, etc.)
You are asking about the server, not the apps.
This is another “I WANT EVERYTHING FOR CHEAP!” post in this thread, but with lower effort because this is easily searchable to find the answer.
You are asking about the server, not the apps.
No. Please refer to the third word in the body of my post, which spells “app”.

Where? I am not seeing what you’re seeing. Feel free to quote my post to show where this is, and please demonstrate how it is “i want everything for cheap!” in all caps.
OP already clearly stated he want to use XMPP. What OP is asking is some client features the functionality of Telegram client. Or a fork of Telegram client, gutted out every signle line of code interact with the backend, replace them with a XMPP client library.
