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 yourusername@tilde.team 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 [team@conference.tilde.team](
xmpp:team@conference.tilde.team?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:

    #channelname@biboumi.tilde.team

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.
