tilde.team has a jabber server available for users.
we're running ejabberd, a modern xmppd in erlang. authentication
is configured to use your shell password, so just connect with any
xmpp client with
[email protected] and your password.
recommended clients are:
- [conversations (android)](
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/eu.siacs.conversations)
- [gajim (linux/windows)](
https://gajim.org)
if you have a recommended client for mac platforms, feel free to discuss
and add it to this list.
we have a tilde.team MUC (multi-user chat) at [
[email protected]](
xmpp:
[email protected]?join), feel free to stop by! note that the
official chat for tilde.team is [#team](
https://tilde.chat/kiwi/#team) on irc.
## biboumi
there's also a [biboumi](
https://biboumi.louiz.org/) server
connected with our xmpp server. you can join any [irc](irc)
channel as an xmpp MUC (multi-user chat) room with the following
format:
#
[email protected]
it's configured as a single-server setup, so there's no need to
provide the irc server in the address.
for more info, see the [docs](
https://doc.biboumi.louiz.org/9.0/user.html#join-an-irc-channel)
but keep in mind that you must leave out the `%irchostname` part
of the address.
