If anyone here is into # or # and also uses any # compatible chat, join us over on bicycles@conference.samwhited.com and let's try to get a public chat room going! 🚲

xmpp:bicycles@conference.samwhited.com?join

weird; try again? The room was moderated by mistake, but that shouldn't stop joining.
in reply to Neil E. Hodges

hmm, all I can think is that there's some sort of problem with the server-to-server connection, but I don't run the server so I can't really check, sadly

me! Although i don't think I'll be cycling in college anymore... (Room and classroom are ~1km apart)

My commute by bicycle (round trip) to work was ~16km until recently (plus a bus/train section), you can totally do it, I believe in you!
in reply to Aman Das :silverblue: :rstats:

hah, sorry about that, I totally assumed that was a "this is a long distance" (even though it's not). That's probably what I'd do too at that distance

Hmm... I've never used xmpp. Or maybe I have and just don't know it. 🤔 #
in reply to Evelyn🚲葉美華

it's quite possible that you have, a lot of chat services use it. I always recommend https://conversations.im/ but there are a bunch if you're interested in trying it!
in reply to Sam Whited

I'm a wimpy non techie Android user so I opted for the cute Bruno app 🧸.

And...
I'm in.
Lurking. 👀

I installed Pidgin but can't remember my XMPP account settings.
in reply to lopta

I haven't used Pidgin in years, but I remember it being terrible and its XMPP support being horribly outdated. Are there settings you need other than your address and password? I mean, I guess it would work well enough to join a chat, I just don't know. Good luck! You could always get a new account from somewhere like https://conversations.im too if you needed!
in reply to Sam Whited

I set up an account on xmpp.jp but it seems I missed the bicycles room by a few days.
in reply to lopta

We're still all in here chatting and what not whenever you'd like to join :)

https://conversations.im/ is pretty nice
in reply to Thomas

I use that or Snikket (https://snikket.org/) which is a rebranded fork with a few extra features. Both are great!
