Still a bit alpha, but looks promising. Several features seem to be waiting for atproto implementation.

i also use irc but it doesn't work for normies. there's no integrated persistant chat log, image/file upload, voice chats, replies(linking to specific message), message editing, emoji reactions, etc...

~~You must have never tried irc in conjunction with Convos or The Lounge~~

Edit: Fluxer is a usable alternative https://fluxer.app/

[–] hexagonwin@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i haven't seen Convos before, thanks for sharing.

i've seen The Lounge before while looking for a discord alternative sometime ago, but i skipped it because there doesn't seem to be replies, editing, reactions, file/image sharing. i have to admit i only tried their Demo link, perhaps libera just doesn't support those IRCv3 features?

[–] UiUiUiUiUi@piefed.nl 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

haha yeah editing still isn’t a thing in irc but image upload, replies and voice/video (convos uses jitsi) are, totally understandable if those are roadblocks.

Libera is probably your best best for IRCv3 so yeah there is a reason the industry moved to xmpp (LoL Facebook Nintendo Zoom).

You have been using software stuck in the last century I'm afraid. IRCv3 solves all of this with the clear exception of voice/video chats. Use ergo server, the lounge or gamja as a web frontend. Motd on android feels like a current messenger (but it's partly made with ai unfortunately). irc really is a credible possibility today

[–] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The problem is that voice&video and spaces/servers are necessary for how most people use these sorts of chat apps nowadays

[–] rako@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 1 points 1 day ago

Yes absolutely. Which means that irc is a good platform to build on.

[–] hexagonwin@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i see, that's awesome. will try setting it up later.

do you know if push notifications work in the mobile app?

[–] rako@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm not a believer of push notifications, so I leave motd open in the background, with maybe a few hundreds messages a day and it consumes 1% of my battery. I know it's not an answer, sorry 😅

[–] hexagonwin@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i see. i also don't use push notifications, but to have my discord using friends move over i need to reach feature parity.

[–] rako@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 1 points 11 hours ago

I get that, the feature here is realtime messages and notifications, which irc and correct apps provide, not push notification itself.
