I've tried it already and it's really neat. Drew was also very nice and explained me a lot of stuff :3
What are your thoughts?

sr.ht is amazing! puting the fundamentals back at the heart of dev communities! :)

Yes soju seems like a quite nice modern IRC bouncer. But IMHO even better would have been hosting their own IRC network instead of contributing to libera.chat centralization.

It doesn't sound like it's limited to libera.chat.

Thanks to the standard, open protocols that IRC is built on, chat.sr.ht users are able to participate in the established community of IRC networks like Libera Chat.

EDIT: They do, however, appear to recommend it.

The recommended network for SourceHut users is Libera Chat: https://libera.chat

Yes it isn't limited to libera.chat, but all their own channels are there.

Does it work like a normal soju instance? So you can connect to multiple servers, and connect to it over any client? I have a copy of soju running elsewhere, but it'd be nice to just use one set up by someone smarter.

Answering my own questions, it's literally just a soju instance, works fantastic. I already pay for an account so I'm using it now.

Yup, like zote said, it is a regular soju instance with a gamja client served too. You can connect to any network and chat away! I have tried Libera and OFTC for now and it worked wonders :)
