What IRC client do you all recommend for Android? I'm looking for a non-paid option that will allow me to connect to a passworded host. Any suggestions?

I've always used Revolution IRC, and haven't had any issues with it.

This looks like it will work well for me, thanks! Giving it a try now!

I've been using Weechat-Android to connect to my self-hosted Weechat for over a decade. This is one of the killer mobile apps that keeps me on Android and I love it.

I also have a couple instances of thelounge that people use on mobile via the PWA (progressive web app).

Using a self-hosted thelounge too and, as alternative if my home connection drop or so, I have irssi in termux.

Quassel server at home and Quasseldroid to connect to it.

People are really still using IRC?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Of course, it's the best proto for chat, I use it actively everyday since 1997.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Please elaborate. I haven't heard of anyone using this since the early '00s. What's great about it?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So simple, no images, no videos, no bullshit this just works... Now mainly out of habits and because I have some friends on it... Also some nostalgia about the time internet was more than http and so on

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So...the benefits are that it doesn't support media, habit, and nostalgia?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ngl, in this day and age with ads and cookies riddled in every corner of the Internet. Irc sounds like a breath of fresh air!

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago

There are plenty of messengers that don't have anything like that.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 2 months ago

I just copy/pasted your post onto a search engine... wow, it works.
