    IRC exists and works great! :D

    I’m on a self hosted network that is active almost around the clock, full of chill, wholesome and welcoming people. I can PM details for anyone who wants to come check us out (there is a webchat option, no need to set up a IRC client if you just want to have a look), don’t know if advertising is frowned upon here or not and I don’t want to spam or upset anyone.

    Edit: Since my account is too young to be sending private messages to strangers, I’ll add the info here:

    The server address is irc.inthemansion.com port: 6697
    Join #lobby and say “hello” :)

    Web chat can be found on the front page here https://inthemansion.com/ it will by default make you join #lobby. So if you are unfamiliar with IRC, that is the easiest way to try it out.

      My problem with irc was not remembering to connect and it not being persistent, so when I did show up it’d be empty unless it just happened to be in the middle of others talking. But I did want to get into it.

          Maybe it was just the server I tried, but I could never get it to work. Or maybe I configured it wrong 🤷🏼‍♂️

          How’s mobile support?

            Some bouncers need to have the chat history replay set to enabled, some clients need a plugin to replay the history. I use Soju+weechat and had to do a bit of configuring to get it to work, but now it does work fine. Also, some channels have a server side history replay enabled, for example, in our network the main channel replays automagically 15 last messages and you can do a command to replay the last 100 messages.

            Mobile support has improved a lot lately. There is a couple of users on the network who only use mobile to chat. Personally I don’t use any, so I can’t say much about it.
