I like what Cheogram is doing, between the client and the funding model.
Let’s say my interests are self-hosting and tennis, and I make public MUCs for self-hosting and tennis - great, but now what? How are users discovering the community. What is a chatroom without users? The community or traffic need to happen before the chat.
Ohh, so you were talking about finding communities in the literal sense. Most clients these days hook into the https://search.jabber.network/ API, so you can just go to the “discover channels” section of your client and type “selfhost” and find xmpp:selfhost@chat.disroot.org?join and xmpp:selfhost@chat.moparisthe.best?join

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
