Or use https://spectrum.im/ Which is basically a server side Pidgin (uses the same libpurple plugins) and you can connect with any XMPP client.

Or BitlBee (https://www.bitlbee.org/main.php/news.r.html) which is the same thing but as an IRC server (This is what I use)
https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge also matterbridge does the same thing I believe
Somewhat different. Matterbridge makes a connection between one or more chat rooms, while Spectrum2 allows you to connect as a single user to a different network.
I've known about Pidgin for 5 years already - ever since I migrated to Linux. But IDK of any servers - IRC or otherwise with active users, so it's kinda useless to me. Unless someone here wishes to suggest such servers. I'm mostly interested in these things as a reference point of what servers I'm looking for: Linux (and/or Arch Linux), Supergirl, Atheism, metal (music).
Pidgin is a great client. I wish there was a mobile version of it!
Yeah, some mobile and OS X versions and it may really become “universal” , it was really quite good in its day - too long ago….
