Hello. I want to try out irc, but I don’t know what server to sign up for, or what clients are good (Android). Any suggestions? Any lists of servers I can look through?
Thanks
i guess this really depends on your needs or interests. for FLOSS related topics
libera.chat
is rather coolThanks for the recommendation. They had a list of clients I could choose from which was good. I can’t seem to figure out how to create an account though, there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to do that.
IIRC you do not need to create an account - you can (if you want) register your nickname (so noone can impersonate you on that IRC server).
have a look here: https://libera.chat/guides/
I was able to figure it out, thanks for the link!
Did you find any app for Android?
Yes! I’ve found Goguma to be a client that fits my simple needs. Should be able to easily find it on FDroid. Or Izzy’s repo if it isn’t in base FDroid, I forget which it’s in.
Any of those from f-droid do not work for me because they just don’t connect to servers atall
