Hi guys, I want to communicate with people here via chat if possible, and just wondering what people here are using?
I want to use a protocol if possible, and definitely not discord or some other software run by a corporation. Obviously IRC was the thing to use back in the day. Do people still use it or something else?
I love the fediverse and the idea of getting away from the big tech companies, and am looking for whatever real time chat software is recommended right now. Thanks.
Edit: Setup on Matrix, thanks guys! @xero-:matrix.org hit me up if you want!
I’ve put my matrix in my bio for DMs. Been chatting with some Lemmy mods and users on it also. It’s been really nice. I use the Element app.
As far as the native Lemmy DMs, they kinda suck, but the wefwef.app web app actually puts your chats in a conversation view which is really nice. When people dm me on Lemmy I use that to talk to them. At least until the apps get a better UI for dms
