I'm starting to think ergo (server) + halloy (desktop) / goguma (mobile) makes a credible alternative to discord for small community textual chat, based on some recent experiences.

At least this combo of IRCv3 servers and clients has a pretty high level of "just works" (not needing a bouncer, handles multiple simultaneous connections from different clients, history/state survives disconnects, basic image attachments / url unfurls / reactions, etc).

@andymandias you're doing awesome! Y'all make it really easy and a pleasure to contribute to #Halloy 🫶

Dear #IRC fans, there's another huge release of #Halloy today! Hit your update buttons to get version 2026.7 🙌

New #IRCv3 support in this release: reply, redact, metadata, websockets, network icons and bot mode!

Lots of great new features and fixes, especially if you're on a server that can support them 😏

@dansup I highly encourage and recommend this!

Lots of open source projects are on Libera which has some nice modern #IRCv3 features. But if you run your own ergo server, you can have even more like chathistory (without needing a bouncer!), reacts and replies! And of course if you use the client, Halloy, you'll get quite a nice user experience as well ❤️

I'm going to look into this since filehost has been merged into the #halloy codebase 🫡

PSA to y'all #IRC users: the latest release of #Halloy supports more #IRCv3 specs! Including `typing` (now on @liberachat too), and `+draft/react` & `draft/multiline` on servers that support (ergo.chat) them!

It's been very pleasant to use Halloy for IRC, so many nice quality-of-life features 🫶
