Why it ranks here

Health score explained

Prosody IM scores 10/100, #6 of 6 in Communication - XMPP - Servers: 0 commits in the last 90 days earn 0.0 of 35 points, the absence of a tagged release forfeits all 25 release points, an active, unarchived repository keeps 10 and no advertised Docker image leaves the final 10 unclaimed.
