On dino and conversations for example I can chat to myself on a chat to my own JID. As simple as that. On profanity I can not do /roster add <my_jid>, nothing gets added, although there's no failure either. And I can't do either /sub request <my_jid>, it gives the error:
Error Invalid presence type
And if I include something something to the chat to myself on dino for example, then my JID shows up as unsubscribed, and if I do /omemo start <my_jid> I can't se whatever I posted on dino or somewhere else. But this is weird, because whenever connecting to my account my JID doesn't show up as a possible contact to chat with, and I can do /omemo start <my_jid> but it still shows up weird...

First off, the community.xmpp.net instance is long dead and there is little point in posting there.

As for Profanity, I am not sure that is an supported feature. Many xmpp clients actually do not support self-messages for various reasons and it is a rather recent phenomenon that people started abusing messengers as personal notebooks, so often no-one even thought about implementing this.

Yup, I realized community.xmpp.net is dead, and sadly it's the only profanity specific community, :(

Ohh, I've always written to myself for things I want to sync and prefer to encrypted while syncing. It seemed natural to me, since all chat mechanisms I've used support writing to myself. But perhaps that notion is not so natural as I believe.

Many thanks then !
