I primarily access #guix on irc.libera.chat from gajim (xmpp client) over a bridge.
I think Raghav Gururajan mostly uses xmpp bridges also for irc last time we chatted. Regarding matrix clients, Arun Isaac packaged weechat-matrix for guix recently: see the following commit on master: 7ebed0cdc8043852bed7f5ca639f16bac30cc124 gomuks is a nice tui matrix client that I use daily when element takes forever to load in my browser: https://maunium.net/go/gomuks/ I'm hoping to package it at some point. I currently install gomuks with nix... It would be cool to self-host a Guix System deployed matrix home server at some point in the future. Ideally, the server is implemented in guile instead of python (default homeserver), of course :). There are matrix servers implemented in python, elixir, rust, go, ... * https://matrix.org/docs/projects/server/synapse * https://matrix.org/docs/projects/server/dendrite * https://matrix.org/docs/projects/server/conduit * https://matrix.org/docs/projects/server/construct * https://matrix.org/docs/projects/server/ligase * https://matrix.org/docs/projects/server/maelstrom * https://github.com/bismark/matrex Matrix has a specification: https://spec.matrix.org/latest/ List of matrix servers: https://tatsumoto-ren.github.io/blog/list-of-matrix-servers.html all best, jgart
