Perhaps we need a Lemmy community for that kind of stuff? ๐Ÿค”

I don't think it's exactly the right tool for the job, but it'd be better than nothing. I'm personally interested in tooling that would help bridging the gap between curated info (like a wiki), long-lived discussions (mailing-list/forum) and instant messaging (chatrooms), but i don't know any tool that would help with that yet.

Oh hah, I used to (I even ran several XMPP servers back in the day). Now I am on Matrix, as this is just the easiest for me. And fedi, of course.

Just curious: how is Matrix easier as a sysadmin? I've personally heard quite opposite feedback. Do you have maybe a bifrost instance on hackerspace.pl that i could reach you through? Otherwise i'll try through a public instance :)

Take care <3

Easy: I don't run it. Simplicity for me comes not from how easy it is to sysadmin it, but how many communities I am a part of use it. IRC, as much as I hate to say it, is slowly dying away (FreeNode shitstorm did not help here), and XMPP is not great at creating community spaces. So, Matrix it is for me.

No clue what bifrost is.

Otherwise iโ€™ll try through a public instance :)

That will probably work best.

Yeah i agree. I started talking/drafting about XMPP Spaces a few months back. Hopefully i can find time to implement that in a client/server sometime :)

I added you on Matrix via aria-net.org gateway. bifrost is a matrix<->XMPP gateway but unfortunately the official matrix.org instance is really bad bad bad but from what i hear the aria-net.org fork runs much better..i guess we'll see!
